How do you go about ordering these? Would luike to get a big map of the new ranch mom and Dad bought. Would need to be professionaly done. Any recommendations?

Go to your local SCS office and talk to them. They probably will have some idea of what is available in your area.

Download Google Earth and get familiar. This is map of our place - selected all layers to give you an idea. For the house, I just indicated the borders, stands and feeders, sent it to a reprographics company and had them enlarge a color copy of a 36"x48" and laminated it.

You can calculate surface area, use it for general elevation, etc.

Great tool.
