I've recently come across a source of older maps made by the USGS. Many are in good to excellent condition. There are states quadrangle maps mostly from the eastern USA and some central states. Many National Park and National Forest maps. Hydrologic Maps, Earthquake and Seismic Zone maps, Nautical Charts and Satilite imagery of whole states. Some of the maps are quite large up to 4 X 6'. I have a list of some of the maps I found picking through the cabinets and map cases. There are more there and I just wanted to see if there was interest. Some are very reasonably priced. Last year I found a 4x6' map of the Grand Canyon. Some of them are in rolls and some are folded. Here are some of what I have located. I can inventory the list later as there are way many more than I have currently. He told me these maps aren't printed anymore in that they're on 100% rag paper and offset printed? Most of the dates are from the 1960's - 1970's.
I've decided to sell them for $25 each except for the Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, and one or two of the other really big ones. If you buy two or more, I'll pass them on to you for $20each. That will basically cover my cost of the map, my time driving over there, digging through the unorganized drawers, file cabinets etc and driving back, taking pictures measurements, posting, etc. Plus it keeps the cost relatively low for the people here whom share my same appreciation for overlanding. Folded maps S&H will be cheaper for me, as I can put them in a padded Manila envelope, so I won't charge for shipping on single order folded maps. Rolled maps will require a shipping tube so the cost will be a little higher. I don't have or do Paypal so a postal money order would be fine. Send me a PM for my address. My shipping area is 28701.
There aren't a whole lot of these left, and some only one, Olympic NP and Big Bend NP have about 8-10 more available. I'm keeping a few for my own enjoyment and to share with friends and family, but the few extra I have and the few more left over at the storage place are all that is left from this source.
Thanks, Dan

I've got a thread with lists and pictures already going over at http://americanadventurist.com/Forum/showthread.php?2271-Interest-in-older-USGS-Maps
