Download USGS Topo Maps!
If you explore the wilderness you know that having good maps is as essential as having a good tripod for photography. This has always meant having to buy the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5′ topographical quadrangles which gets very expensive once you’ve purchased all the maps you’re going to need. Fortunately nowadays we can get those same maps in a digital format direct from the USGS, and the best part is it’s free!
Go to USGS link at the end of this article and type in the place. Then click the red information bubble showing the maps that are available. Next click on “download” to get the maps that you want in a convenient pdf format. Then print. It’s that simple.
Hey Adam.
It’s always nice to visit your website/blog.
I wanted to thank you for the USGS map link.
I am looking for more photos from Big Bend.

Hi Momo,
I’m restructuring my website and when that is done (hopefully by next week) I intend to start sharing the photos from the Big Bend project.
Thank you for taking the time to write.
Best,
Adam
