I've created a map based on two usgs 7.5minute topographical maps and years of MY data plotted on them. I think outdoors people would buy this map... Can i Sell it? Do i need permission from the USGS? What is the copyright on a usgs map?
I have contacted the usgs, and am awaiting a response, but was hoping someone in here knows something about this.

USGS maps are public domain. USGS used to sell them to people based on reproduction costs but they've been "freed" and are now available to anyone on the internet. Links: Internet Archive, Libre Map project.
