Goggle earth and a printer gives you a good photo map of the areas.

USGS maps are public domain and can be downloaded for printing at an office supply store - Staples seems to have some of the best prices. Here is a good article about how to do so. I print mine as Blueprints in full color. You can also add marks to the pdf document prior to printing (notes, landmarks on the map, etc.). Costs just a few dollars per copy and you can usually pick up same or next day.

I print single maps at home, email them to my local print shop for many pages. Lots of tools you can use. I'm planning to buy waterproof paper, 11"x17", and paint the $50/year to print the bigger pages.

On the left side of the map window, there is a small print icon(it's hard to see). Click that, and a panel will come up with your parameters. You can choose orientation, scale, etc.

I had a panel expanded and it was covering the printer icon, thanks for the help
