Maps of Grants

[Bad Mojo]

I am having to do some site work out in Grants for one of my school of architecture projects and I was wondering what the best program or website is to get maps of that area. Topo and road maps would ideal. Or is there an office I can go to and get maps.

Thanks

From my (practical) experience anythng printed on paper is pretty much useless anymore unless you're looking for historical features. GoogleEarth/Google Maps does a good job with newer geospatial data overlaid with old. Mapquest is "OK" for road information. You can also try UNM's RGIS system, which is useful but very cumbersome. What sort of data are you looking for?

ArcGIS Explorer | GIS Viewer | Free GIS Software & Maps
then
Online Imagery & Base Maps | Topographic Maps | ArcGIS Online Map Services

There is likely to be a bit of a learning path...but worth it if you are serious about maps, maps and more maps.

Quick and dirty maps ---load USGS quads into GoogleEarth here:
Free USGS Topo Maps & USGS Quad Index for Topo Maps

Thanks for the information.

I am having to provide maps of the roads in the area for my site plan, plus then show the Northwest corner of the state and zoom in multiple times to show El Malpasis National Monument. A map of the areas mines would also be good. I will work will all those links/programs and see what I can get.
