FEATURED MAP
Stella Gametrails map

Our latest Gametrails series map was produced with the same attention to detail that you have come to expect from Compass Mentus maps.  We do all of our own research and spend many hours in the field checking the roads and trails so that our maps are accurate and informative.

This map is the first we have produced using a map book or atlas format.  It comes in an 8.5"x11" format and is spiral bound so that you can open it to the area you are going to be in and lay it on the seat of your vehicle next to you.  There is overlapping coverage on each page and since we were able to make the scale 1:24000 you get a lot more detail and are able to read the map easier.

This map can be purchased through Compass Mentus.
