I found a link to a "free" topo website. Check this out… Here is Pocahontas State Park in Virginia:

You can zoom in, zoom out, search another area, search another state, etc… Once you find what you are looking for, you can click on the "Waterproof print" link for $9.95 – – – [i:1pus3f75]BUT[/i:1pus3f75] – – – you can, um, uh, …well you know, click on "Start Your Custom Map"…
Click "View A Full Preview".
Let it go… It will create a new internet browser window…
Maximize the new browser window.
Click on the map.
Slide your scroll bars around, from the sides and bottom, to center your map.

Hold down "Ctrl" + press "Print Screen".

Paste the image into Photo Shop, Paint Shop Pro, Windows Paint, etc…etc… whatever photo editing software you have.

Voila!!! You just got yourself a, *ahem* [i:1pus3f75]"creatively acquired"[/i:1pus3f75], free topo map… 😎
