Map App suggestions

Hey All, I am trying to find the most detailed map app that shows elevation to help find some flatland.

I was given access to 78 acres and I have only explored about 15% of it with the trails that are there. I would like to see if there are any other good spots that might be worth checking out. The problem is, most of what I haven't explored seems very dense and looks to be "hilly".

I am trying to figure out if there is anything worth cutting my way into and making new trails. I looked on a few such as Google maps, onXMaps and now looking at Huntstand but it gets distorted when zooming in. The found that onXMpas is the best so far because it does show a few of the trails I go on.

If you look at the attachment, you can see the trails (the green lines) that are there. The part with the brown overlay, is the area I havent been able to get to and I bet there is a some real good spots. If I can find anything worth while, I plan on bringing in a forrest mulcher next spring and cutting new paths and doing food plots.

On a side note, which app does everyone recommend, onXMaps or Huntstand?

You want LIDAR maps. Some states or counties offer these on their GIS web map portals. You can also try CalTopo. It has a layer called shaded relief. You can see details like you are wanting. These are examples of 2 areas on the CalTopo app. One is a pancake flat area. You can see the mounds of dirt created when the pond was dug. The other is a hilly area.Screenshot_20241221_092300_CalTopo.jpgScreenshot_20241221_092526_CalTopo.jpg
