1:24000 US Geological Survey Quadrangles
These extremely detailed maps show contour lines (elevation levels), bodies of water, terrain features such as swamps, woods, grassy areas, roads, trails, buildings, and more. They are the perfect level of detail if you plan on hiking, biking, or even canoeing, but are overkill for merely driving through the area (unless you are off-roading). The link takes you to the US Geological Survey's helpful map finding tool where you can find and purchase the maps that you need.
  National Forest Service Maps
Direct from the National Forest Service website:
These Forest Service maps provide many of the same features found on the USGS maps, with additional information on recreational uses, local plants and wildlife, trails, roads, streams, lakes, visitors centers, facilities available, campgrounds and picnic areas. The maps also display color photographs of points of interest and activities. Each map covers all or part of one national forest, and the scale is ½ inch per mile (1:126,720).
  Bureau of Land Management Maps
BLM maps are equivalent to National Forest Service Maps. We are sorry to report that at this time there is no single source to purchase all BLM land maps. You must contact each BLM state office individually to purchase maps of that state. Follow our links to access individual BLM state office web sites.
