We happened to be in UT's library right after the geography department cleaned out their old map files. Along with a few other scavengers, we sorted through hundreds of 7.5 minute topographic maps to find the prettiest of them all. With several rolls bundled under our arms we headed home to explore the interesting topography of our country. Not really, but Laurence did come home the next day with hundreds more of these maps! We've gotten great use out of them for crafty projects around the house, and I find that the lines and shapes provide the perfect "pepper" for some of my work. However, my favorite use for these maps is wrapping our Christmas presents! There are many nice shades of green, some just white with delicate red lines running throughout, and some with pops of blue... I love the areas with water! Hope our families don't get tired of this wrapping anytime soon.
