My wife loves rummage sales...me not so much..but I tag along sometimes. I scored today. Only cost me a buck.
It has 15 maps and all are in good shape
.cover is a little dinged but that's to be expected. I love old maps so this is a great addition to my collection.

I have the same map book. One of my most cherished old maps. You will see many resort in the bwca that are long gone. Several where on Basswood. Also many other old landmarks. Good find.

Great score. I love old maps. Are any fishing spots marked?

Nice score. My book has been opened and closed so many times it’s more of a map pile than book.

Cool! Other than resorts, where portages or campsites or anything else different?

Now you will have to go to rummage sales for another 10 years!

I like it because of the route marked on it.

Very cool

I think I will just train my wife to look for cool stuff.

I still have the one I bought in 67. It has the same cover and designated snowmobile trails.

I also have a set. Really a good find because some old portages that are no longer maintained are marked on the maps.

Nice! I picked up that same mapbook last year off ebay for a few bucks. Have really enjoyed it and even used it on a trip last year to find the remains of an old cabin that is marked on the 1952 maps.
