Why GPS Topos

Above the Timber's high resolution topographic maps of Arizona coupled with any Garmin mapping GPS receiver bring maps into the 21st Century. No longer do you have to locate physical landmarks and triangulate your position via map and compass, a tedious and error prone procedure. Your Garmin GPS does all that for you . . . instantly.

Four Maps in One

Each Above the Timber Arizona map is actually four separate maps, unlike paper maps or most electronic maps. Even some Garmin compatible GPS maps lack this feature. This 4-in-1 construction is a huge advantage on a small screen handheld GPS, but even on your PC monitor you will appreciate this feature.

Arizona Public Lands

Public lands for Arizona are shown at 24,000:1 or better resolution if the data was publicly available. Included are National Forest, National Park, Bureau of Land Management, Federal Wilderness Areas, Indian Reservations, National Wildlife Areas, Military, Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Energy, Arizona State Lands, and Arizona Parks.

High Resolution Hydro Data

The High Resolution Water Data is what makes the Arizona maps stand out. Most vector maps only have named water features, named lakes and streams. For every named water feature, their are 100-unnamed water features. To the extent possible with USGS water feature databases, ALL unnamed water features are on these maps. We're talking beaver pond resolution!!!  Additionally, most Arizona rivers are shown at their true extent, bank to bank, not just a line indicating river.

Wilderness Areas

Arizona has over 80 Wilderness, Wilderness Study, Primitive and Wild & Scenic River Areas from National Forest, National Parks and BLM. All provide a non-motorized experience and share Above the Timber's unique light buff area color for quick identification and high contrast object viewing. Simply hover over the base map in the portion of Arizona of interest to quickly find a wilderness to explore.

Geographic Points of Interest

Their are over 30,000 points of interest in Arizona showing summits, mines, cemeteries, arches, pillars, basins, springs, flats, ridges, cliffs, waterfalls, communication towers, passes and on and on. For example, Arizona has over 5000 named and positioned mines, they're all here! If you're in the vicinity of a mine, look for the mine symbol on your Garmin GPS for its name. All points come from the USGS and appear to be based on 100K or 250K data, hence will often not align perfectly with contours.


Free Map of Arizona

Download a free demo GPS map of Arizona so you can see a portion of the actual maps cut from the Arizona master maps.  The map portion was selected to give you a reprsentative sample of Arizona, showing numerous public land types, water features and various road types.

Border to Border Coverage

The Arizona maps cover the entire state at the 24,000:1 map scale. Equivalent to a single border-less paper map of over 60 feet on each side.

Roads: Interstate to 4WD

Arizona federal and state highways shown in distinct colors and with unique shields for quick identification. All city streets are included, while not routable, the road features greatly aid navigation.

30-Minute Map Segments

Each map segment covers an area of 30 x 30 minutes of arc or exactly 16 - 7.5 minute Quad Maps. These map segments seamlessly join one to another, therefore you can have all of Arizona as one seamless map inside your GPS receiver.

Disclaimer

While great effort was expended in data collection and presentation, Above the Timber assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of these maps. Therefore, the user/purchaser assumes all responsibility for any errors in these maps.

Forty-Foot Contour Intervals

Elevation contours on Above the Timber's Arizona Topos are at 40-foot intervals, the same as standard 7.5-minute USGS Quad maps. Because of the multi-layered nature of the maps, as you zoom out, contours will automatically reduce to 200 foot intervals to avoid contour clutter.

Will the Maps Work on My GPS?

Arizona Trails

All of Arizona National Forests and Grand Canyon NP plus extensive BLM are included with named and/or numbered trails. The high visibility red-dashed trails work particularly well in the visually challenged, Garmin touch screen GPS receivers.
