I don’t have a degree in geography, but I do love paper maps.

A quick audit of same revealed the following:

2 x UK Road Atlases

4 x US Atlases of various scales and focus.

3 x USGS large scale maps of SE Wyoming

1 x World Atlas

12 (approx) x 1:25000 and 1:50000 local or semi-local maps. (Ordnance Survey)

1 x Photographic Atlas of England. Full aerial survey coverage of the country at the millenium.

1 x UK air navigation chart (VFR)

2 x UK air navigation charts (IFR)

There's probably some more somewhere!


Unique selling point of a paper map? The batteries never run down.
