Hi. I'll be coming up to Sabaskong Bay at Lake of the Woods this summer and want to order topo maps for the area. Does anyone have the address for the Ministry office that equates to USGS? Ordering off their website would be preferable. thanks so much, m
Here is the government site
http://www.fedpubs.com/maps.htm
You may want to give some of the other members a chance to respond. I know there are other map sources out there, just don't have the sites handy.
I am not sure a topo map is what you want. With out the depths, channel bouys, and channels marked you could be in for a long fishing trip.

Gary, would a Hot Spot map show those?
I was also looking for a regular land topo map just to get coordinates and bearings to relate to my GPS.
I searched this site and came up with fedmaps.com and canadamapsales.com. Any additional help would sure be appreciated. thanks, m
The government of Manitoba runs this site. www.canadamapsales.com The prices are very reasonable.

Get a Hot Spot map. They sell them with GPS coordinates.

Thanks, folks, got my hot spot map today. Now, I need to orient myself to where the lodge is, put in point, etc. and do some serious highlighting of the navigational hazards shown. I'd like to keep my outboard's lower unit intact throughout the trip! I may also get a regular USGS-type topo map just so I can plot points, but after further study of the Hot Spot map that may not be necessary. One last question - are we there, yet? happy fishing, m
