ATC maps are useless except for the fact you are giving them money everytime you buy one. They are like 6-8$ and sometimes cover as little as 20 miles. I've never seen anything that details numorous areas and I doubt they even exsist.

USGS 1:24K Topographical maps are FANTASTIC for this. I recommend doing a bit of research as you switch from grid to grid and updating some features, adding in a shelter that may be newer than the map. Best maps you can use, and they come in sections so you can have them pre-shipped to you if you are a thru-hiker.

I use alltrails.com mostly but there's a ton of maps guides and books based on region, park, or trail system. I have a nice little book that shows me every notable trail within 50 miles of my city.

For the bigger ones I try to find a source specific to it since those tend to be better.


Wait this thread is 13 years old :lol:

Hey we might as well modernize this conversation.


I love good government GIS systems. They were invaluable for my old job. And unfortunately not real common. The good part anyway. Most counties/states have a GIS website. MI's was made in MS paint...
