Nat Geo used to have a map program called TOPO!. I have the set for Idaho. It's mainly all the USGS topo maps for the entire state (or a group of the smaller states) along with features from tracking, printing, searching, etc. I don't see it on their website so I guess they dropped it. Mine must be 20 years old now.

I'd suggest the USGS 7.5 (quadrangle) maps vs anything of bigger scale...
Google Earth and the 7.5s will tell you a lot about an area...but nothing beats scouting first hand.

The web site I gave is National Geographic maps. Only difference is they are free and you print them out.They are 7.5' http://www.natgeomaps.com/trail-maps/pdf-quads

Their trail maps skip Idaho almost entirely in spite of our huge wilderness acreage. Admittedly, the Frank, one of the biggest in the lower 48, has almost no trails for them to put on a map.

Several of my fav hunting areas aren't covered by NatGeo nor any of the other popular maps--I hope it stays that way! Casey
