Best Source for Maps of Hunting Land

HillbillyJim · Jun 13, 2010

What have you all found to be the source for putting together maps of your hunting club? My club spans two different counties. One has a very good GIS site and the other doesn't. Just wondering what you guys have found to be best.

Google Earth, Terra Server, Terra Fly, even Mapquest.

USGS can get you TOPO, etc. usgs.gov

go to your local USDA Natural Resources Conservation Office they can producer ARC / GIS maps with topo overlays on aerial photos, and they don't cost a thing.

I use the USGS topo maps. I also use google earth to draw in roads, trails, ponds, camp site, etc if they do not show on the USGS map. I then edit the USGS Topo map by adding the roads, trails, ponds, camp site, etc. I have also put in WMA boundary lines and our property lines aswell.
Then I transfer them to my garmin gps. Works very good, especially when dog hunting and using a garmin dog tracking system.

web soil survey has fairly up to date maps that will also give you soil types among other usefull information and they will print high-lighted areas too.

take a little practice to use but well worth it
