Map Question

[bowhunter]

I am looking for a map site that I can look at a satellite image and overlay the topo grids. The area I will be hunting seems to have the south facing slope sage and open while the north facing slopes are trees. I look at the topo map and find a place that looks promising and when I toggle to the satellite it is open sage. I thought of printing a caltopo map and shading in the timbered areas. Maybe someone knows of a site that has the option I am looking for.

mytopo recently added an option for a topo and satellite combo map. I got a new 1:24,000 map when they started offering this new combo.

I don\'t believe you can tell by the printed map the exact forage or ground cover. I use GE to identify the ground cover (talus, permanent snowfield, aspen, meadows) and then make a note on my map.

I will look at mytopo....

That\'s what I was going to do was use GE and shade in the trees on a topo map I printed.

Hey Terry,
Would this type of map with the shading on it already help you out.

Go to the Forest Service - FSGeodata Clearinghouse you may find what your looking for.

Thanks Scot. I will check the site out. That map looks like what I am looking for if the shaded green areas are trees and accurate with satellite images.

can you look at the sat image and get the UTM coordinates?

then you can simply put a dot on your paper map..and even transfer the point to a handheld GPS.

Map question? That is my favorite subject. I already have most of these areas mapped out for CO. Give me a call and let\'s talk.
