DeLorme
Arf, I'm laughing over here.
That's a great map of that area; better road data - and even shows the AT - than the google maps version that I posted - which is my desktop image; been staring at it for weeks in anticipation of this upcoming camp trip; still not sure exactly where in there I'm going to go; haven't even been up that way yet, so will take a few days to just explore; I've got almost two weeks!!!!!!!!! . I can't wait.
Which reminds me, I need to find a good map or maps.
And I'm clearly going to need this knife to fend off mosquitoes.
(Blackfly season was early this year, I'm told.)

That map was a quick screen shot of my DeLorme Topo USA image of that area. Topo USA has been superseded by Topo North American, I believe. I also have their USB tethered GPS puck, and an old PN-20 hand-held GPS of theirs. Their newer PN-40 and PN-60 (
here's the package) are the same size but faster and with more map memory. (If you're feeling rich, they have the PN-60w version that supports two-way wireless messaging via satellite.)
Me, I just use a lightweight notebook computer with the tethered puck for detail work on the road. The Garmin will help you navigate for ordinary trips, but when you want to know what the other slope of that hill looks like, DeLorme is the answer. All the maps are loaded on the hard drive, no "fetch from satellite" or the really icky "fetch from cell network" sourcing. I have highly detailed maps with things like stores, hotels, and gas stations (yes, with phone numbers), complete with zoom, tilt, rotate, trip routing with manual override, draw-missing-roads feature, and so on.
It has saved my travel bacon a number of times.
The Topo USA (North America) series has superb graphics, excellent detail levels, tilt, rotate, and pan capability mentioned above, and an "exaggeration" function for viewing terrain features.
DeLorme also sells
paper maps, like their Gazetteer series for specific regions. Here, for example, is
a set that covers your area.
For people who travel in areas where there ain't no Internet nor phone, their stuff is a great nav aid.
DeLorme is actually located in your neck of the woods, so to speak, in Yarmouth

and they have
this enormous globe there that's a tourist attraction in its own right.
Here's a shot from Google Maps, Street View, Photos section:
Impressive.

There may well be something there you can use.
