The valuation, however accurate of a market appraisal, sounds rather like an open invitation for thieves. Or for vandals to remove a map from its published context.

I was watching an episode of the Antiques Roadshow from 2014 (Baton Rouge).
The show featured a General Land Office 1852 map of Texas (2nd edition) that apparently is supposed to be rare.
The map was was valued at $ 22,000 - $ 25,000.
You may want to check your collection.
I love to see government documents on the Roadshow.
