Maps!

So Sarah and I like maps.
Back in June, The US Geological Survey had a sale on maps for 1 dollar each. Pretty exciting, I know. I bought 6 maps, plus 5 dollars handling and pretty promptly forgot about it. However, in July, they finally arrived. Some of the maps were actually Survey Bulletins with multiple maps inside as well as charts and research diagrams. 

Here are a few scans:

And some pictures from my snazzy new phone:
