    Here is the price list for the Keystone Trails Association. You'll find nearly all of the guidebooks and trail maps for the backpacking trails in the state.

    You can order the guidebooks and maps for the Adirondack region in New York from the Adirondack Mountain Club.

    http://www.adk.org/

    Here is the link for the North Country Trail

    Catskill Mountain Club

    A selection of books and maps can be ordered from Equinox in Williamsport, PA

    I live in Northeastern PA and get paid to hike. I've used the ADK guidebooks for years. They all come with maps. The AT guidebooks and maps are excellent as well. Likewise, I've used the PA Hiking Trails Guide (12th Edition) as a resource to find the right Game Commission or PA Bureau of Forestry Map to plan trips. Free maps of trails located in the boundries of PA State Forests may be obtained by contacting the Bureau of Forestry HQ for that specific area.

    Backpacking on PA State Game Lands is usually not allowed except where specifically designated, as camping on Game Lands is prohibited.

    For info on Backpacking in Northwestern PA, you may consult the webpage for the Allegheny National Forest.

    I use the "National Geographic TOPO! Outdoor Recreation Mapping Software" its a little expensive, but well worth the money.

    http://www.trails.com/ also sells decent maps that you can download online.

    Google Earth is definitely the cheapest option out there, but theres no topo information, and the resolution can be poor depending on the area.

    Aviation sectional charts are a great source because they expire every 6 months, after which they become unusable for pilots, so the expired charts are often given away for free at pilot shops. They are also very accurate and include topo information.
