National Geographic launched a free website to print Topo maps

The folks at National Geographic just did a solid favor for all the adventurous outdoor photographers out there. They put every US Geological Survey (USGS) topographical map from across the United States on one easy-to-navigate site and made them easy to print out at home.

Thanks for posting that link. Use TOPO's a lot and this will be a great help.

Very cool.

I've been printing the USGS maps, but they're definitely not sized for standard paper. This will be way more awesome.

The site must be overwhelmed. I can't get through.

I was able to download a map of an old radar site (now returned to nature) and someday we may attempt to make a model of the site for a local museum. The topo map will be useful.

Bumping once to make sure everyone had a chance to take advantage of this.

Thanks again for this notice. I had it on an old computer that died.

Also, how often do these maps get updated? One for Flint still shows a factory that was demolished in 1992.
