The Seeger Map Company, a main stay in the map world, announced it will be closing the business by the end of 2020. The first Seeger maps were those drawn for motel guests on scraps of paper in the late 1960s.

One thing is for sure, the endearing legacy of Seeger Map Company will live on in homes and libraries across the United States, and abroad.
