Im sure they're are better maps than I use. I use the BLM maps and national forest map. Once I have the area I want to hunt figured out, I print some pages off of Google earth of the area from differnt angles and put them in my pack tooa along with the other 2.

Check out mytopo.com. You can get a good large scale topo map that shows the entire unit and its boundaries. Then, when you've determined which areas you want to concentrate on you can make smaller scale custom maps. Very user friendly and reasonably priced. GOOD LUCK. Chip

1-So its Region G which is 4 units, does that mean it would be a single map for each unit or one map for the entire Region G? Cuz I don't want to have to get 4 different maps.
2- Is a 7.5 minute map a good map to use once I find the area I want to focus on?

Thanks for the replies

7.5 or 1/24000 (same thing) is as good as it gets for detail, but at the same time, will be WAY too big if printed for the whole area. As said above Mytopo is good. Check it out, you can review your area online for free before buying. For that matter I never buy anyway, I just print out and tape together mytopo maps for the drainages I want to hunt.

If you want a full region map at a managable size, you'll need to go up to a 1/100,000. But then you loose alot of detail. It may be cheapeast to just buy the WY state atlas from Delorme. It's scaled at 1/100,000 and shows private/public boundaries.
