US Topo Maps can be downloaded free of charge from several USGS interfaces (including the USGS Store “Map Locator”). The maps are published in Portable Document Format (PDF) with geospatial extensions (GeoPDF®). They can be viewed and printed with Adobe Reader or comparable PDF viewing software. The geospatial extensions provide limited GIS functionality, such as displaying ground coordinates and measuring distances and areas. For more information see http://nationalmap.gov/ustopo/ and http://store.usgs.gov/
The optional TerraGo Toolbar® is a free plug-in for Adobe® Reader® that enables Adobe Reader for Windows users to access, update and share GeoPDF® maps imagery including simple measuring distances and areas.
