Get your topographic maps here! The latest version of topoView includes both current and historical maps and is full of enhancements based on hundreds of your comments and suggestions. Let us know how we can continue to improve access to the USGS topographic map collection.
This interface was created by the National Geologic Map Database project (NGMDB), in support of the topographic mapping program, managed by the USGS National Geospatial Program (NGP). Geologic and topographic mapping have a long tradition together (see 1888 report). The NGMDB project is proud to assist the NGP in bringing these maps to the Web.
US Topo Series added to topoView
We've added the US Topo series to topoView, giving users access to over 3 million downloadable files from 2009 to the present day. The US Topo series is a latest generation of topographic maps modeled on the USGS historical 7.5-minute series (created from 1947-1992). Like the historical topographic mapping collection, we've added a variety of file formats previously unavailable for the US Topo series, including GeoTIFF and KMZ.
New functionality driven by your feedback
The latest version of topoView is full of enhancements based on hundreds of your comments and suggestions. We've added the ability to preview maps within the interface and give you tools to compare any historical map with maps of the present. Filters and searches work seamlessly with the map records table to get you the info you need with fewer clicks. Accessing the information you need is easier and quicker than ever. As always, your feedback is important to us so don't hesitate to let us know what you'd like to see in future releases!
The easiest way to measure the acreage of a plot of land is to start by entering an address that is associated with the plot of land you need the area of. In rural areas where an address may not be available, you can enter the cross street or even the GPS coordinate of a point on the land. For GPS coordinates be sure to enter the latitude followed a comma then the longitude ex. (41.87811, -87.629798). In any case this will place a marker that you can use as a reference point to draw the area on the map. Once you are finished drawing the area calculator will display the area of the shape above the map.How to use the google maps area calculator tool to measure a roofSpecial precautions must be taken when measuring the area of a roof. The images that appear on google maps are often at a slight angle, which combined with the angle of a roof can cause errors. For this reason it is best to outline the roof at points which are all at the same elevation. On a simple house for instance you would only click on the corners of the roof and not on any points along the peak as that would cause an error. After measuring the area of the footprint you can estimate the actual roof area based on the angle of the roof. Similarly if you using the area calculator tool to measure a roof with multiple levels, you should do the individual section separately.The google maps area calculator is not 100% accurate. Do not rely on this tool as your only resource in making important decisions.Measure perimeterWe now also include the perimeter of the shape that you draw along with the area. This can help you to measure the the edge of a lawn, or the length of a fence
NOTE: New Guide Use Area (GUA) boundary changes went into effect January and July of 2012.All guides should check the new supplemental mapsto see if this affects your land use. The main GUA maps below will be updated shortly.

This new map displays Connecticut's Aquifer Protection Areas (APAs) using an interactive GIS mapping tool. The map shows the towns in the program and the Aquifer Protection Areas for which they are responsible. The map contains layers that allow the user to zoom to view the APA mapped boundary and the parcels within that boundary. The map may be viewed using the base map, the imagery map with labels, the streets map, and the topographic map. Each Aquifer Protection Area, when selected, provides a pop-up box containing information and data for that area. The map is best viewed using Google Chrome or Firefox.
Connecticut has approximately 123 existing aquifer protection areas located in 80 towns. To view the Aquifer Protection Areas in a specific town, select the town from the map or choose from the drop-down list. You can also view a letter-sized state-wide map of the Aquifer Protection Areas (11 x 8.5 inch) or a large state-wide map of the Aquifer Protection Areas (36 x 24 inch).
GIS shapefiles of the aquifer protection areas are also available for download on the DEEP GIS data download page. Choose the data category "Natural Resources Management" and then "Aquifer Protection Areas".
Municipalities may be interested in protecting groundwater for future source use. The Surficial Aquifer Potential Map of Connecticut has been prepared by the Connecticut Geological Survey for statewide resource protection, water management, non-point source pollution prevention, and land use planning. The map identifies areas with greater potential for ground water supply based upon the texture and thickness of surficial aquifer deposits. (See Surficial Aquifer Potential Map.)
Adjacent to the urban areas of Baltimore and Washington lie some of the most tranquil and serene places. Well hidden from the hustle and bustle of city life, a daily excursion to a local WMA can prove to be a welcome relief.
This rich land area east of the Chesapeake Bay harbors some of the most beautiful and diverse wildlife around. WMAs provide many opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, hiking and bird-watching, in addition to seasonal hunting activities.

In 2011, CZM updated the Designated Port Area (DPA) boundary maps and descriptions. The previously effective maps were available in hard-copy format only, and, in some cases, boundaries were ambiguous. CZM went through a thorough process to transform these hard-copy maps into digital format. During this process, slight modifications were made to facilitate boundary identification, primarily to align the boundary with the most recent assessors' parcel maps or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration nautical charts. Since 2011, routine updates have been made and publication dates are provided in each boundary map and description.
The following list provides links to the updated DPA maps (11"x17") and descriptions, by region. To download these data or create interactive maps of the DPA boundaries, see the DPA Data Layer in the Massachusetts Ocean Resource Information System (MORIS).
The Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources continues development, maintenance, and management of over 750,000 acres of land for the Alabama hunter. These areas are financed with funds derived from hunting licenses and federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition. Located below you will find a list and maps of public hunting areas in Alabama.
Prescribed burning is likely to occur on several WMAs during this hunting season. Prescribed burn units are indicated on the WMA maps below. Prescribed burn personnel will provide signage in the area of the scheduled burns on the day before and the day of the burns. Please be aware of these areas if hunting within these units.
The maps, also referred to as Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), illustrate flood hazards throughout the County and are used when determining flood insurance policy rates. Residents and businesses can view the maps to better understand their potential flood risk to help identify steps they may need to take to protect against property damage and loss.
Wetlands are our friends
Did you know that rainfall is an important part of the ecology of South Florida? Rainfall drains into floodplains such as the Everglades and our many wetlands, filters through these areas, and is eventually stored underground.
Underground water is the only source of drinking and domestic water supply in South Florida. It is important that we protect and maintain these drainage areas; the quality of our drinking water depends on it!
