Just for clarification, on the USGS site, got to
http://store.usgs.gov/b2c_usgs/b2c/s...3300%298933353
And click on "Map Locator" you will get a Google type map that lets you zero in on a given area. Follow the instructions and you will eventually get to download the official USGS 7.5 minute topo maps in pdf format. These are pretty great. The actual map is too big for most printers to print out but you can use Adobe reader (free) to select a portion of the map for printing on regular 8.5 x 11" paper.
Until I get a gps unit that has a mapping feature, this seems the way to go.

A lot of county Property Appraiser offices will have new color aerials that you can print on-line. The advantage is that usually they have the landowners property outlined. You can also get the contiguous landowners names, etc as well as any other tracts you have an interest in......

I use www.maps.live.com works great for me. It will take you to bing maps, but there the same thing now. Once you get to the area you want use bird eye view
