Maps


Links to Online Topographic Maps and Aerial Photos


Below are links to sites where you can view maps online. This will be useful in connection with Lesson 1, but also generally when you need to find a map for whatever purpose. Try to find your home address using any of the map servers for a topographic view of your neighborhood.

MapTech This site will allow you to view topographic maps online by zip code or city. Maps are available at 1:24000 and 1:250000 scales with zoom and scroll. Find your street and see the topography around your house.
Terra Server From this site you can view topographic maps and satellite and aerial photos of anywhere in the United States, some of them down to 1 meter resolution (meaning you can see things as small as 3.3 feet). Locate an area and then see the photo and map of the same area at the same scale.
Terra Fly This site produces USGS topographic maps of any location by address or zip code
