Business Partner Retailers

The USGS has private-sector business partners who sell maps and other USGS products. Buying from a retailer is usually the fastest way to obtain a USGS topographic map.

USGS Earth Science Information Centers (ESIC)

ESIC's offer nationwide information and sales service for USGS map products and earth science publications. These offices provide information about geologic, hydrologic, topographic, and land use maps, books, and reports; aerial, satellite, and radar images and related products; earth science and map data in digital format and related applications software; and geodetic data.

Free map indexes and catalogs can also be ordered from ESIC offices.
