It sure is a lot easier to download the USGS DEMs from
http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/glis/hyper/guide/1_dgr_demfig/index1m.html and
then contour them with Vertical Mapper. See page
http://www.solidearth.com/listitenterprise.htm for a sample that I did for
real estate. This is just a clip out of a 6,000 square mile area that I did
in about a day and half. 40 foot contours on the sample.

Subject: MI Digital topos
To All,
Where can I get digital topo maps for the US? Currently I order
paper maps from the USGS and scan them in on a B&W large format scanner. I
looked at Sure!Maps. Any other suggestions. Basically I use them for
elevation analysis, but more importantly I can see more detail about area
landscape than with just plain TIGER data like parks and buildings. I've
used DEM files before for elevation. I'm really looking for a replacement
for the topos. What else is there?
Thanks,
Dion Duran
