I have about 7 ft of wall in my new office, and I want to cover it with the biggest map of the BWCA as I can find - like the ones in the forest service offices (maybe a bit smaller). Where would I find such a thing?

Thanks!

I have the laminated A2 from

Overview Map McKenzie

It was the biggest I could find a couple of years ago without special ordering something

I've always felt like that National Geographic maps would be the perfect size. You would need to get two east and two west since they are front and back and do a little cutting and pasting.

We just had a big discussion of this including the guy who now makes them. Do a search for bwca on etsy.com

The discussion here was in the listening point.

I separated out the maps and pasted them together. Probably 8 foot wide and 4 foot tall. Shows the entire BWCA. Not the cleanest look but I like it.

That's awesome. I wish I had that kind of wall space, I would like to have something that big.

Its on my wife's side of the garage. Subliminal suggestion every time she pulls in.

Piragis had a huge map I saw last week. It sold for around $80.00 .

Thanks for the tip walleee, looks like it might be this one? From Fisher. Made on "banner" material. Did it have portages and/or campsites?

I have this one as well. Cool overview map but really lacks the detail. It does show someportages ( not sure about campsites, I'm not at home now). This is the first one I bought but it was hard to really plan a trip from it. That's why I like the larger one. Even if you don't put it on a wall it shows more detail without having to own every true map
