Hello Mike,

Find a friend who flys and ask him for an out of date Alabama Air Sectional
map, the map pilots use. I think they have to be replaced rather often due to
new towers going up. 

It shows terrain heights very well as well as having the ground level marked
along with high towers and their base height and top of tower height.
Otherwise go to your local airport. New ones are kind of expensive, in the $5
- $10 range. Excellent detail and due to the large scale it is easy to
calculate the distance from one point to another.

73,

Sam Neal  N5AF
