Grand map

What is everyone's opinion on the best map of Grand. I mean an actual paper map of the lake, not on a gps.

Hotspots

Google Earth as a secondary tool

I'll add, Don't trust the map around Sycamore Creek. It's silted in bad.

Close your eyes and pray going across that flat if you are not familiar with it.

And it's even worst coming back with enough in the livewell to get a check. About half way across I'm always wondering if it's such a good idea to blow through 2 feet of silt and logs.

Really, Hot Spots is the best? My experience is they were always an average map at best. Thanks everyone for the replies

The best I've seen is The Grand Chartbook. Shows a lot of detail that you won't find on Hotspots. Even shows a path through Sycamore Shallows., if you really wanted to go through there.

This is by far the best detailed map of Grand & Hudson that I've ever seen.

It's published by Technical Chartbook Services. Used to be able to find them at the Sportsman Store and a few other places in Grove.
