The USGS has some invaluable tools for anglers. The
streamflow gauges are something that I use to divine what the flows will be like on upcoming trips. And I've long
downloaded topo maps to scope out blue lines, especially when I'm going to new locations.
The USGS maps division has now digitized a lot of it's content and now that's available via the
National Map Viewer. Think of it as the Google Maps of all the USGS Map stuff. Not quite a slick and fast as Google Maps but it's a whole lot more detailed and has tons of information.

ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome. It's a pretty neat thing.
DeleteLove it. They remind me of the old Ordnance Survey maps from back home - I still have a collection. Now if you'll be kind enough to get some charts for the local salt we can all go kayaking (soon).
ReplyDeleteThe Ordnance Survey maps a very handsome maps.
