Welcome to CoreFacts, where we're always short on time and big on science. I'm Steve Sobieszczyk. Today's question is for all you map lovers out there.
Where do I buy USGS topographic maps?
There are a number places, both brick and mortar and online, where you can purchase USGS topographic maps. For example, the interpretive association stores co-located within most USGS Information Services offices sell topographic maps. If don't know where the nearest USGS store is, call 1-888-ASK-USGS (that's 1-888-275-8747) for more information. Besides USGS offices, there are also thousands of USGS map dealers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Check the Business Partner page (http://store.usgs.gov/cgi-bin/choosebylocation.pl) in our show notes to help you find a map dealer near you. In addition, scanned versions of historic topographic maps are available from Novacell Technologies on their website, also listed in our show notes (http://www.novacell.com/). Scanned versions of all the latest USGS topographic maps and aerial photographs are also available online through the online USGS store at http://store.usgs.gov/ and downloadable in digital format through the USGS Map locator and downloader. Lastly, to order USGS Maps by mail write to:
USGS Information Services
