      Maps:

  •   The best maps for SE MN river routes are contained in the "Canoeing the Driftless" book containing accesses, campsites, shuttle routes etc.   The following lists road  and topographic maps that can be used with the route maps found in the book. 
  •  Minnesota online canoe and kayak route information and maps can be found at www.dnr.state.mn.us/canoeing
Topo Map: Minnesota Atlas & Gazetteer (available at bookstores)
PC TOPO Maps: The following are two mapping software packages that have USGS mapping base for street, terrain and satellite views. You can print your detailed route maps and interface with GPS devices. Cost $$, but if you have use for topo maps for paddling, hiking etc., as I do, they are well worth the money.
There are free mapping sites on the internet such as Google Maps, that have street, terrain, and satellite views.
