Hi, John -
This may be a round-about way to find other places that have the OSS
maps, but there was a summer intern named Earl Scott in either 1963 or
1964 who later was teaching in the Geography Department at Michigan. He
may remember who some of the other interns were or where they were from
which may give you some clues as to other places that may have the OSS
maps. Now, the trick is to find out from somebody at Michigan whether
he's still around there or maybe where he retired to.
HTH.

I was under the impression that these things were quite rare and valuable, but after searching the internet, I've learned they are apparently quite common. I found a great history of them here: http://www.escape-maps.com/history_of_wwii_british_cloth_escape_maps.htm, but I did not find a good source for determining the monetary value of specific maps. Do any of you out there in Maps-L land have experience / knowledge about these maps you can share?
