Description

Product Overview

The Butler Maps G1 Series MP 113 topographic map is a meticulously crafted cartographic tool designed for serious outdoor explorers. Produced by Butler Maps, a trusted name in map publishing since 2011, this map presents a full‑color representation of terrain across a compact 9 x 4 inch sheet, making it easy to carry in a pocket or backpack.

Detailed contour lines illustrate elevation changes, while clearly marked trails, water sources, and landmarks provide essential navigation cues. The map’s dimensions (9 x 4 inches) and weight (approximately 0.01 kilograms) strike a balance between portability and readability, allowing users to unfold the sheet for a comprehensive view without sacrificing convenience. Every element—from the color palette to the typography—is optimized for quick reference, helping hikers, campers, and backcountry travelers make informed decisions on the trail.

FAQ

What is the best way to protect the map from water damage?

While the MP 113 map uses moisture‑resistant paper, we recommend storing it in a waterproof pouch or zip‑lock bag during rainy conditions. Rolling the map loosely inside a dry sleeve before placing it in a pack also helps prevent water from seeping into the fibers. If the map does become damp, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air out before use.

Can I use this map with a GPS device?

Yes, the MP 113 map is designed to complement digital navigation tools. You can overlay the printed map with GPS coordinates by aligning known landmarks or trail intersections. Many hikers use the map as a backup to verify GPS readings, especially in areas where satellite signals may be intermittent.

How often is the map updated?

Butler Maps releases updates to the G1 Series whenever significant changes are identified, such as new trail segments, closures, or alterations in land management. Customers who own previous editions can request a discounted upgrade, ensuring they always have the most current information for safe navigation.

Is the map suitable for winter backcountry travel?

The topographic details, including contour lines and elevation data, remain valuable in winter conditions. However, users should be aware that snow cover can obscure trail markers and water sources. Pairing the MP 113 map with seasonal knowledge, snowpack assessments, and appropriate winter gear is essential for safe winter travel.
