Anyone know of a place where I can get a bigass map of the SG's?

-Must be big(ass)
-By that, I mean something I can put on a wall, put pins in it, and write notes without taking up a buncha space like on the Tom Harrison maps.
-Cheap (I'm poor)

I'm sure Jim knows...

Take that PDF Max posted to Staples or Kinkos and have them print it in a large format. Most of them can print up to 3'x5'.

Taco - give me a ring.  I can plot any maps you want as long as its no wider than 48 inches and no longer than 100 feet.  I can plot a map of the entire San G's for you from the Topo! software program, but I think I still have the name of a guy in Orange that has some nice maps.

You would just need to meet me in Irvine some weekend - cool?  No $$$ required.   Laughing

Thanks you guys, deal!

I'll probably get two. One big one you linked me to, Matt, and one with as detailed contour lines as possible. Need them lines for some topo junk. Kinda working on a project for the SGMDF... Cool

The BLM has Maps 100K  & 250K ? series

If you have a size in mind I might be able to make a custom map of the area you want

This.  That is an awesome map.  Get it printed up bigass size and then mounted on gatorfoam so you can stick pins in it if you want.  Kinkos can do it all for you.

It seems EnFuego is setting me up professionally. This will be quite cool.
