Ordering USGS Topographic Maps

Back to Map Index    Display Map with USGS Grid Ovelay




Paper topographic maps are approximately 23" x 20" (27" x 22" with collar) and can be ordered directly from the sources shown below: 

    Texas Natural Resources Information System  ($5/map + $3/order)
    U.S. Geological Survey  ($4/map + $5/order)
    Retail Dealers (prices vary $6 and up)

Digital raster graphic (DRG) files are digitized versions of the paper topographic maps and can be downloaded for free or purchased on CD. These DRGs are saved as 8-bit color-indexed TIFs (LZW compressed) and are approximately 250 ppi when sized to match the paper maps. Each file is 4-11 MB in size and will expand to approximately 35 MB in memory. Because of the size, files to be downloaded are zipped. Each zipped file is approximately 2-4 MB in size. Collared DRGs include border and legends. Seamless DRGs do not have collars and can be tiled together to create a continuous view.

    Collared DRGs (download from GIS Data Depot; previously free, they now charge)
    Seamless DRGs (free download from Texas Natural Resouces Information System)
    Complete set  of 29 collared DRGs on CD ($30 from the Bosque County Collection)
