Imaging Specialists to Partner With USGS

Imaging Specialists is now an official Business Partner with the United States Geological Survey. We can sell any USGS product from topographic maps to historic maps to satellite image posters!

We will begin with topographic prints of the county and we will also stock maps of the quadrangles including Independence, Grassy Creek and West Jefferson. Relief maps, large wall maps or any other USGS products will be available for order.

Alleghany is fortunate in that seven of the eight maps that make up the county are vintage 2010, vector images. (Note the different coloring on map D in the illustration. Also, the green county outline is for position only, it doesn’t print.) The most up to date map for the northeast, Cumberland Knob portion of the county is from 1981.

Vector images allow for the greatest flexibility in printing, we can turn off road names, for example, and they can be resized without loss of resolution. That is, they stay sharp at any size output.

If you need maps for your business, organization or even your living room wall, call us!
