The book called mapping trophy whitetails is a very good read for how to use topo features and funnels to help you take more bucks.

Aerials are much better in flat land. Look for any type of transitions.I bought that book years ago and sold it diddnt help very flat where i live
Any insight on what to look for in flat country on maps?

Definately a great book for travel routes for deer. Does any one know of a book that breaks down identifying bedding from topos and photos?
Thanks. I'll check those out.No book that I know of but check out Dan Infalt's Hill Country Bucks and Hill Country Bedding DVDs. Must watch videos for anyone hunting hill country.

I've started to order Mapping Trophy Whitetails on a couple of occasions but, I've found a few websites were it gets some pretty bad reviews.
How much of the book is teaching you how to read topo maps and how much if it is teaching how deer deer relate to topo features? I've been surveying and making maps for 15+ years so I'm good with understanding topo features and reading maps but, I would be interested in learning more about how Whitetails relate to those features.
Are you looking for high ground and using that to locate oaks?I do have the book and it's great when hunting the hills, but more commonly, I hunt very flat flood prone riverbottoms.
I now use the DEM (Digital Elevation Model) shading option in Caltopo and can do 3' elevation increments. For me, 20' in this area is completely useless - 3' determines if I need my hip boots, chest waders, or canoe.
This little amount of change is also indicative of ground that produces gum tress vs oak trees. This, combined w/google earth pro historical imagery is what is use in the river bottoms.
