Hi, just moved from UK to US... I'm trying to find a good topo paper map for southern NV, but can't seem to find much online. Anyone help? Thanks Peter

When looking for topo maps, you'll always see USGS topo maps.  USGS is the US Geological Survey, so it's government funded.  The maps are solid, to scale, the level of information is consistent from one map to the next, and you could buy all of them, put them together and create a map of the whole U.S., and they are relatively inexpensive and available.

Bad news is they aren't the most detailed maps and alot of the info is older, which shouldn't be a big deal except for new roads, roads that have changed or roads that are no longer in use (roads don't just change overnight usually which is why it isn't that big a deal).

Thanks for the info Spec44. I'm used to very detailed, up to date UK mapping, so just trying to work out the best way to get my hands on a backup paper map!
