Latitude 40° Maps Inc.
Latitude 40° Maps offers the most visually sophisticated recreation maps available anywhere. Focusing on the splendor of the Colorado mountains and drama of Utah's canyon country, Latitude 40's maps employ digital cartography, shaded relief, and on-the-ground ground-truthing to reveal the glory of landscape and the intricacy of route-finding.

Made by a wonderfully friendly couple, both cartographers, these maps are the most beautiful and the most useful maps I have used. Their attention to detail is evident everywhere from the font choice to the fact that their hypsographic (elevation) coloring is tuned to the colors present in the actual area the map is covering. These aren't just repurposed USGS maps with some trail data on top, these are well thought out maps built from scratch by people who know how to make maps.
