Trying to find 2 different maps...

[zeus1gdsm]

Hey all.  Looking for some help as my googlefu seems weak lately.

 

I am tryign to locate 2 things...

 

1) a map of nys dec hunting zones overlayed an actualy map with towns and villages and what not so I can determine where to choose my doe tags.

 

2) Online, easy, free, and printable TOPO maps for CNY.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

 

PS. first serious season.  going to be putting the time in this year

The interactive is a good one. Play with the layers and you can see state and Federal lands. trails, fishing access sites and many useful features.

Pics.top corner is aarow....then layers.....then terrian....hope it helps

WOW that map is amazing! Thank you!

 

My understanding is that with Doe tags I get to pick 2 areas correct?  for instance 6p and 6r is where I have accessible private land.

 

And that the standrad buck tag will let me go north and south?

 

[stoneam2006]

Yes but check to make sure you have a chance to get them.....Google search nys dmp probability

From what i have seen this is the best mapping site out there.

As for finding what units you are in this is an awesome app for you phone. if you do the paid version it tells you landowner info and all. You can also download the free version which will show you all the dec zones with overlays that you can see right over aerials.

GMAP4 overlays topo and aerial...best of both worlds.
