Goldscott,

This app exists. Check out ViewRanger: http://www.viewranger.com/en-US

The app is free for both IOS and Android. Many maps are free (open street, open bike, etc..., and USGS 1:24,000 for contiguous USA, Hawaii and Alaska is $24.00

Maps can be downloaded to your device for use off line.
