Enlarged ASCE 7 Basic Wind Speed Map
(OP)
Does anyone know a source for a higher definition Basic Wind Speed Map for the ASCE 7. I have an electronic (.pdf) version of ASCE7-05, but when I zoom into the map, it gets really distorted. I am interested in the New Orleans, LA area.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Is the information on Fig. 6-1a really that difficult to interpret? If you're right on the line, go with the higher value.

Looks like they're going with IBC 2003.

Here is a link to the Florida county wind speed maps:

I also call the local building officials, for areas that I am not familiar with, and chat with them about their unique local requirements.
By the way, the ASCE wind speed map is an approximation that allows for interpolation between the lines. One must always call local building officials if they are not certain.
