Can't get the same price as 1961, though. I was appalled at the USGS price
jump just instituted when I bought maps in '64: they had just raised the
price each from 25 cents to 35 cents. And the local retailer wanted 50 cents
each, plus tax!
Ah, the good old days...

Subject: [Texascavers] US Topo Maps ...Paper
In late August we were in Denver and we went to the Federal Center Map
Sales, in west central Denver. A one mile sq. complex of federal buildings
of every size and shape. One is the Topo Map Sales center of the US.
They have 45,000 different USA topo maps for sale. Pretty neat place.
They had the exact topos we needed for some 14ers.
I still have the map tube , and topos, for the first topo maps I ordered
in 1961, while still in high school.
