"Starting in 2013, the National Geospatial Program began creating US Topo maps in Alaska, providing a comprehensive update to the 15-minute 1:63,360-scale printed maps produced nearly 50 years ago. The new digital maps will be created at 1:25,000 map scale, and will show greatly increased topographic detail when compared to the older maps. The map scale and data specifications were selected based on significant outreach to various map user groups in Alaska.
Schedule
Over the next 6 to 8 years, over 11,000 US Topo maps will be created to cover all of Alaska at a 1:25,000 map scale. Approximately 400 maps will be created by October 2013, with an additional 700 maps expected by October 2014 (see graphic). Maps can only be created where satellite imagery and highly detailed elevation data exists."
