Hiking - Mostly day and weekend hikes, I don't like marathons

The USGS Geopgraphic Names Information System provides a great query form. for finding the location of just about any feature you could imagine. What I like most is that system will give you the name of the 7.5 minute map(s) covering the location of the feature you are looking for.

Find the distance between two latitudes and longitudes.

Here's a great page about Fly Fishing in Arizona
