Re: New online national forest maps with trail mileages, road in

So, this may be hijacking the thread a bit (or at least off-topic), but what's the best way to get forest-service paper maps, preferably by online or mail/phone order? I'll be wandering about by myself for a couple of days in September in the eastern Sierra, and while I know the territory pretty well on foot, I'm totally clueless about roads. And, for that matter, I wouldn't mind having something with up-to-date trail information. I'll be in heavily traveled areas—Mammoth, South Lake and vicinity—but I'm not even sure quite what maps to ask for! I could certainly walk into a ranger station when I get out to California, but I'd much rather get a map while I'm still here on the east coast so I can plan a bit.
The Inyo National Forest website was hopeless. Many of the links are broken, and the one that did work—for the Eastern Sierra Interpretive Association—didn't seem to have actual Forest-Service maps of that region.
Suggestions?
