Website Offers Complete Map Coverage Buying USGS topographic maps is a breeze with the On-Line Arizona Topo Index & Catalog Phoenix -- More than 2,300 topographic maps of Arizona have been added to the Wide World of Maps website, www.maps4u.com, making it the most complete source of Arizona maps on the Internet. With the addition of the On-line Arizona Topographic Map Index & Catalog to maps4u.com, Wide World of Maps now has the complete library of United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic and land management maps of Arizona available on the Internet. There are two ways to easily shop these maps on the website. You can select one of three scale categories: 1:250,000, 1:100,000, and 1:24,000. Each is broken down with a map that zooms into increasing levels of detail, until the map diagram is shown on the screen accompanied by a list of the maps available for that region. Additional navigational buttons surrounding each map diagram allow customers to pan from map section to map section and view adjoining areas. With the click of a button, customers may add specific maps to their shopping cart. A simple map interface makes it easy to identify landmarks, major county lines and road features, to make selections easier. The second method is a search feature which will lookup actual USGS map names for Arizona. You may search by map name, such as "Red Bird Hills" or "Javelina Peak" and find them instantly.
