I am trying to get some new maps of the area in northern SK.

It's been years since I poked around at their REALLY nice storefront in downtown Calgary,....looks like they're still around,...

They WERE an excellent source, with a more complete inventory than the Cdn Federal .gov sources.Faster acquisition of quadrangles that weren't in stock, etc.

I get maps at the Forestry. They charge small fee.

Yep. Forestry maps are great as they show the different types of trees, height, mix, how thick it is, etc. That's all we ever used. Colour coded the maps so "TA" (trembling aspen) was yellow, "WS" (white spruce) was purple, etc. Found that these worked a lot better. Especially for hunting and looking for funnels, bedding areas, etc.

As a kid my contribution to hunting was colouring the maps in the off season while watching hockey....
