1:250,000 scale quads
The scale of 1:250,000 gives you approximately 4 miles to the inch (3.9457 miles, to be more precise). The contour interval is 200 feet. Each map measures about 32 inches by 21 inches; all are printed on paper. They are shipped rolled (which requires "tubed map"shipping charge) or hand-folded (First Class shipping charge).
Because USGS rarely updates these maps, they should be used in conjunction with more recent road or recreation maps. The maps we sell are the latest editions: USGS does not publish any newer ones. Because of a poor sales history, we do not intend to reorder any of these once we sell out.
This scale is good for a general overview of the area which is yet more detailed than state maps. Road bicyclists can find them particularly useful, since they give an area you can cover on day rides or several days of touring, and also give you topographic contours so you know where to expect the big hills.

We also sell Hubbard Scientific plastic raised-relief maps of this series—not only for Arizona, but for most of the west, Hawai'i, and mountainous eastern US states, too. Each has the same details as the USGS paper versions, but in addition, the landforms are depicted in a three-dimensional raised-relief which give you an immediate understanding of the topography.
