PDF Topographic Maps on Mt Rainier NP
Find Maps in DRG format.
MPG V2.7, July 2010

September 4, 2009.-- The most eastern set of maps was added to the map above and the list below. It covers the farthest eastern extent of the NP to the crest of the Cascade Mountains and wasn't listed here.

Above are a sections of the USGS map index for the 1:24,000 topographic maps for Mt. Rainier National Park. Each of the twelve 7 1/2 minute (1:24,000) topographic maps are also available by the USGS as PDF files from their Map Locator server. This Web page is the download of those files and are the most current version compiled and produced by the USGS.

Notes about files.-- The maps, also listed below, are in Adobe's PDF. The files are large, 5-6 Mbytes, so the download can take awhile and you will need the accompanying disk space to accommodate them. You can also get the 7.5 minute topographic map index for Washington, see Web page (5.4 Mbyte PDF).

Notes about Plug-in.--The USGS uses a special program to convert the maps to PDF on the map locator. A pop-up window will display the following message with each PDF file. Just ignore it, or if you have a PC (no Mac's) you can dowload the tool to better utilize the maps.

"This PDF is a GeoPDF(TM) created by MAP2PDF. This viewer does not have the required plug-in installed to access the full geospatial functionality. Do you want to download the free MAP2PDF plug-in now?"

As soon as I can find a work around this stupid pop-up window, I'll update the Web page. Until then it doesn't change the PDF file which you use to view with any photo editor or Adobe's Acrobat reader or Acrobat Pro.
