We were cleaning out a bank closet and found a map of Atlanta that has to be about 30 years old (approximate age of our building.) It does not show GA 400 on it, and there is no "Spaghetti Junction" or "Cobb Cloverleaf" on it (completed in about 1986 when I first moved here and lived nearby.)
So I took it home because my husband and I are map nerds. He won't go anywhere without a physical "chart".
(He should have been in the Navy.)
That made me think about how many state maps I have collected at visitors centers over the years.
I keep doing it to make sure there is nothing "missing" that has been built in the meantime.
However, old maps sometimes show things not on newer maps like abandoned railroad lines, mines, and ghost towns.
So don't throw those out if still useful that way.
Here is the state source for a free map for every state in the Union in case you plan on bugging out, visiting, or moving permanently nearer your family.
https://www.heyitsfree.net/free-state-maps/Lamination is much cheaper these days, and Kinkos does a great job if you take it there.
I bought an affordable laminator (about $15) at Aldi for all the things I do for my job, church, and family history
handouts and binders I am making.
I keep unlaminated state maps in our vehicles and laminated versions in our go bags.
(My husband does not like trying to refold laminated maps, but I need some waterproof ones.)
I have cut down some maps before laminating to make them easy to handle and store.
I once saw the silk scarf maps styled after those from WWII, but I have not looked into it lately.
I'll post here again if I find a good source.
