- The Florida Resources and Environmental Analysis
Center (FREAC –
http://www.freac.fsu.edu) distributes the digital topographic maps through
the Land Boundary Information System,
http://www.labins.org which is a free web site for downloading USGS 7.5
minute quadrangles in TIFF format. You should also download the geographic
information system (GIS) world file (TFW) to use these products in a GIS
environment.
- TopoZone,
http://www.topozone.com, is another useful site; however, it is a pay site.
This website can provide accurate displays concerning a specific area and the
price is reasonable.
- If you desire a quick method of acquiring
high-quality paper maps, try Map Sport via
http://mapsport.com.
This site can provide paper topographic products for as little as $6.95 plus
shipping and handling.
- If you need to have multiple topographic sheets
from all over the United States then there is readily available software, one
called TopoUSA available from Delorme (http://www.delorme.com/topousa),
which usually costs around $99.95 and has all topographic quadrangles for the
United States on DVD/CD.
The Florida Geological Survey does not receive support or
funding nor does FGS collaborate with these websites. The end-user takes on all
