The scale of 1:100,000 gives you about 1½ miles to the inch (1.578 to be more precise). In this series, the topographic contours are in meters. Each quadrangle covers 60 minutes (one degree) of longitude by 30 minutes of latitude. The highlighted quads on the map below are those which we usually have in stock. Please click on the map to go to the description and order page for each one.
Keep in mind that the name of a map in this section is merely the name of the largest town, or the most prominent other geographical feature within the quad (if large towns are absent). Thus the map called "Flagstaff," for example, is not a detailed topographic map of the city of Flagstaff, but a map of the whole region around and including Flagstaff. Conversely, the map called "Grand Canyon" does not include the entire Grand Canyon, but only a portion of it.
This series covers 30 x 60 minute quadrangles. Topographic contours are in meters, and usually have a 40 or 50 meter interval. Note that these are all the latest editions available: While a fifteen-year-old road map would be quite dated, a fifteen-year-old USGS topographic map is rather recent. Those few topos dated in the 1990s are hot-off-the-press, relatively speaking. The BLM editions are generally more recent than the USGS edition. All are available folded only.
Some of the maps are BLM "Surface Management" editions, the others are standard topographic editions. The main differences are that the BLM edition uses various colors to show land agency management, while the standard edition shows the extent of woodlands. Both have topographic contours. The other difference is that the BLM editions are more recently published than most of the USGS counterparts, as mentioned above.
