USGS Topo maps
In class today we will be talking about ways to access the free USGS topographic quads for NJ online. It is amazing to me to think how much the use of these has changed aver the years even though the maps themselves have changed so little. For those that are new to the maps, I am sharing some different scenes from around New Jersey that may be of interest. Just click on each and they'll expand.
A special thanks goes out to Mike Siegel and the Rutgers Cartography Lab. This is a great resource for students and for pros. A national resource is the Libre Map Project, but it is a bit harder for first time users.
