As long as the map(s) being requested are located on mostly public lands, or are part of a National Park, Monument, or Wilderness Area in the western United States, we will strive to create maps that our customers want or need and will do so as quickly as possible. \u00a0Sorry, we do not\u00a0accommodate\u00a0map requests for urban areas or private lands.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWhy are you recreating the USGS topographic maps?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We love the original 7.5 Minute USGS topographic maps, but are frustrated that they have not been updated in many cases, for several decades. \u00a0Accuracy and up-to-date trail and road information is critical when using maps for navigation, and we feel that amTopo maps provide customers with a product as familiar and trustworthy as the original USGS maps, with the added benefit of containing more accurate and up-to-date information. \u00a0We feel we aren&#8217;t replacing USGS maps &#8211; just improving the beloved format for future generations.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nI noticed there is a mistake or\u00a0omission\u00a0on a map. \u00a0How do I report it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We truly appreciate feedback from customers and are constantly striving to improve the accuracy of each map we produce. \u00a0Please call or email us\u00a0to let us know what you think is missing or incorrect and we will make corrections as soon as possible. Because our maps are print-on-demand, we can make changes at any time, ensuring that our customers always get the most up-to-date maps possible when they place an order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I fold a paper map?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have posted the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amtopo.com\/wordpress\/images\/map_folding_technique.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Map Folding Guide<\/a> to help you neatly fold a map that will protect it and make it small enough to place in a quart ziplock.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nCan I become an amTopo reseller or an online affiliate?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes! \u00a0We have a generous Wholesale Program available for brick and mortar retailers, and we also have an Affiliate Program for online vendors linking directly to amtopo.com. \u00a0Please contact us to learn more about these two programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can I find amTopo maps in stores?
