TOPO Maps

Our Backroad TOPO maps are available in print or digitally. Printed they come on 24" x 36" water resistant paper, scales start at 1:60,000. Digitally the maps work in Google Earth, iPhone or iPad, OziExplorer, Memory Map and more. No matter your choice, you can be confident that our maps are the most up to date road and recreation topographic maps available in Canada. We show more recreational symbols, roads, trails and points of interest than any other map source.

With Coast to Coast coverage and a mandate to update our maps every few years, there is no other map company (including the government) that is able to stay as current or cover as much area as we do. Each map is a blown up version of our Backroad Mapbook maps allowing for much better scales and easier reading. The water resistant paper helps make it handy to use in the outdoors.

Listed below are some of things that make our TOPO maps unique and ideal for the outdoor enthusiast.
