I was pleasantly surprised (during my semi-annual trip to buy stamps)
to find that there are Oregon Trail commemoratives available now.  Of
course, this is not a real replacement for the cordiform love stamp,
but they are maps and worth 29cents on your letter.
 
I also managed to get the hologram stamp maps from Canada last summer.
To all you Canajians out there, your postfolk (in keeping with the
franglais nature of your government departments) did a really remarkable
job, particularly on the satellite image (Landsat I assume).
