What about asking David Rumsey about it?  He has a fabulous site on
Second Life where digitized images of these maps could be displayed in
all their glory?

  This is interesting as we also have a homeless dino-map here in

British Columbia .. and also once claiming the title of world's largest map

see:http://www.challengermap.org/home.htm



Like the 70 ton map, anyone who saw it in its prime, considered it

spectacular and worthy of preserving: not as handy as a digital online

equivalent but superior visually. We need to find a sponsor such as

Google to create a Jurassic Map Park for these pre-digital giant monster

maps.
