Just wanting to get some opinions on what everyone considers to be the best map they have found and who makes them?

I like good ole BLM maps. They are pain to use sometimes but once you get them folded right their great and have all the info you need. The BLM maps are easy to read and cheap usually $4 at the BLM office, you can cut smaller sections out and laminate to make them water resistant.

7.5 minute topo maps are what i have been told to use by multiple "professional" hunters and i am going to try them this year. You can order them off line and even print them off...

I am looking for a good create your own mapping site to make one map instead of 4 USGS maps for the area I need. I've tried a couple but just not happy with the final product yet. Any suggestions?

Sportsmans warehouse sells some National Geographic programs for your computer. You can transfer the maps over to your gps if compatibale, you can zoom in or out to a certain point and print them, they have alot of different options and seem pretty good i have only used one once so i didnt figure everything out but might be worth looking at. They are sold state by state and are around 30 dollars i think......

 REI also has the map machine and they make great maps, that are pretty tough.

 They closed our nearest Sportsmans Warehouse now the nearest one is over 4 hours away. :>/ I really liked that store. REI is about the same distance and another great store. Sounds like I might have a road trip in my near future. :thumb Thanks for the tips.

I have found this website that offers downloadable maps that go onto a GPS. They are awesome! I have bought one for Montana, Wyoming and Utah (New Mexico next if I draw my tag this year, fingers crossed). My Montana map gives me the ability to view Private land boundaries as well as the private land owners names, that is a huge plus! All my other maps allow me to see private land boundaries, state lands, BLM lands, national forrest lands, WMU boundaries, etc. They are so helpful especially being able to view them on my GPS. I believe the website is hutinggpsmaps.com. Take a look at it and see if this is helpful to you. Definately better detailed and more accurate than any regular map I have used. Think there are several states with maps in the Western U.S.

I've been using maps from Bigskymaps.com. They are great maps and very easy to use. they give you land ownership, roads, trails,ect. I have found them in a few stores but i always order online. I also use the nat geo map software for my pc and gps. you can isolate a certain area and have it printed. I just have to push a tab and it links me a web site and upload the area and they print it on water proof paper its pretty cool.

+1 to that Huntin101 - Spend less time trying to figure out where you are on your map and more time looking for muleys! GPS ownership maps are a MUST have, but it's still nice to have a good paper map to give you the overall picture

I have tried the Nat Geo maps and they are ok, just did not find them as accurate and helpful as huntinggpsmaps. Plus they are delivered to your email and it only took one day to receive mine.
