The discussion of each route outlined in this book indicates which maps are needed. Maps can be ordered from:
W. A. Fisher Company
P.O. Box 1107
Virginia, MN 55792
(218) 741-9544
McKenzie Maps, which are also topographic (scale 2 inches to 1 mile), offer an alternative. They also provide excellent detail and use similar red dots to identify campsite locations. Some routes described in this book require as many as three Fisher maps but only one McKenzie Map (and vice versa). When such is the case, it is pointed out in the introduction to the route. You can order McKenzie Maps from:
McKenzie Maps
8479 Frye Road
Minong, WI 54859
(800) 749-2113
You can purchase both of these map series from outfitters, outdoor specialty stores throughout the Midwest, and from the companies’ websites.
