Im looking for the most accurate Maps for both The Chippewa Flowage and Lake Vermilion. I have the Fishing Hot Spots Maps and they dont seem to be very accurate. What would some of you suggest?
Thanks!

Mapping Specialists are pretty accurate on the MadChain, I know they have a map for the Chip. Gander has Mapping Specialists but if they don't have the Chip you might have to order from their site.

As far as maps go, it's tough to beat Lakemaster. They show things, other maps don't.

Are you Looking for Paper or Electronic Maps ?

What I have done is to Take the Paper Hot Spots Maps and then mark them up with info I have gotten first hand and from others.
I will then update my Electronic Versions to match the paper maps and download to the GPS

I'll second Mapping Specialist's. -> http://www.mappingspecialists.com

There are also Minnesota & Wisconsin DNR websites where you can download free maps.
http://dnr.wi.gov/org/water/fhp/lakes/lakemap/lkmaps_a.htm
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lakefind/index.html

Here's another potential source (I haven't tried them yet)
http://minnesota-lake-maps.com/

I found the Minnesota DNR map of Cass Lake to be way more accurate than the Hot Spot's map. The Hot Spot's was based on an much older MDNR map.

Lake Master is the best I've seen and used.
