"Forrest Fenn maps"
This is a unique opportunity to purchase a large selection of USGS topographic maps previously from the private collection of Forrest Fenn.
This collection includes over 700 maps, mostly of New Mexico but also some of Utah and Colorado. Each map is organized alphabetically by region and stored in pull-out map drawers. The map cases are solid, and the drawers are all in good condition. The tops of the cases have some water damage, but there is no water damage to the maps themselves. Some maps have some small rips, tears, or critter-eaten corners, but the vast majority of them are in like-new condition. A few maps have pen or pencil markings and/or notes on them. Some maps are earlier editions from the mid-1950's, while others are revisions from the late-1990's. The paper quality varies, but most are printed on standard semi-gloss topo map paper. A few others appear to be printed on a more water-resistant paper. This map collection was owned by famed Santa Fe art dealer and author Forrest Fenn, and they were in his possession and use for over 2 years. I do not make any claims or suggestions that there may or may not be clues to the Fenn treasure hidden within these maps. These maps could be of great use to the individual adventurer, treasure hunter, private collector, or retailer.
