There was an interesting segment on the Today show earlier this week regarding paper maps.

The story mentions AAA maps and I'm wondering if anyone knows who is making AAA maps these days. They used to have a contract with Seeger, but if you recall, Seeger closed their business in 2020. AAA continues to make maps - University of Illinois has cataloged a number of them.

Here's the video to the paper map story: https://www.today.com/video/why-sales-of-paper-maps-are-surging-161227333515

A combination of maps as art and a search for a bigger picture from young travelers has sparked a significant jump in the sales of paper maps. NBC’s Sam Brock reports for TODAY on the recent surge.
