How To Download Free Topo Maps

Here’s how to search for, and download FREE Topo maps for any area in the United States.

I came across this free online map resource awhile ago, but just today used it again to download some local topographical maps.

Direct Link To TOPO Maps:
Map Locator & Downloader

The direct link will display a map of the United States. Navigate to where you are interested (or enter a location in the search box). A new map will be displayed showing the region. You can then zoom further to narrow your search. At any time, ‘right-click’ on the map’s red pin (your current search location) and a list of available maps will be displayed. Click on any of them (the download column) to download and save!

I hope this helps some of you who are interested in maps. I happen to enjoy viewing maps. Topo (topographical) maps are uniquely helpful while revealing so much about an area.

I have also purchased hard copy maps from the same link source above (there’s a ‘buy’ column in the map list). While computer copies are nice (great for zooming in and exploring at home), a hard copy topo map is essential while actually outside (hiking, camping, etc..), plus they’re nice to look at 

Topo (or topographical) maps show shape and elevation of the terrain using contour lines and specific features such as roads, towns, water areas, and vegetation.
