Jeff’s Maps have become the new standard for adventurers using topo maps in Killarney, Algonquin and Temagami. Now Jeff is set to release topographic maps for everywhere in Canada.
On his website, Jeff writes: “When I explore a new area – regardless of whether I’m looking to map it or not – the first bit of research I do involves looking at topographic maps of the area.
The thing is, the process for finding and getting the map you needed was always a huge hassle.
For instance, the process of even figuring out which maps you needed verged on ridiculousness. There were paper index maps that you could get, but they only show the largest parks, lakes, and cities. Looking for a small river or creek? What about a backpacking trail?
You’d actually have to Google it, estimate it’s position on a paper index map, order that map and hope you picked the right one. Sounds silly eh?
After going through that process one too many times, the same thought that’d I’d had when I started creating my Algonquin map went through my mind – ‘Screw this, I know how I’d design a website to search and share topo maps, I might as well give it a shot.'”
Now, whether you’re looking to canoe an arctic river or you’re just looking for something to hang on your cottage wall, there’s a map for you, available in regular paper or waterproofed. Check out www.jeffstopos.com.
