I was just up in Idaho and a friend gave me a huge roll of CA topo maps, most of them dated 1950s to 1960s. I have not gone through all of them but I see Mt. Whitney, Big Pine, etc. Not sure if anyone is interested in a particular area for sentimental reasons, but I can look through them and see what I have. Condition on them looks fair, they could easily be framed if you have a special place in CA!

John, are they USGS 7.5' or 15' maps?
Regardless, if you have any of the South Tahoe area, I'd happily pay you for them.

Higher taxes never reduce the deficit. Governments spend whatever they take in and then whatever they can get away with.

They could only be 15' topos. My tall 15' pile just collects dust as newer 7.5' maps show much better detail and more current trail/boundary info. Note all those maps are probably still available in the USGS Menlo Park shelves.
