3 messages. For two 'smaller' american towns like Texarkana and Bristol I
would call MapLink (805)965-4402 in Santa Barbara, CA. They had both in stock
at one time. With RM buying up so many of the local publishers it is easier
and quicker to go to MapLink. ------John Sutherland, University of Georgia

We have a fairly decent map from the Texarkana Chamber
of Commerce (P.O. Box 1468, Texarkana TX 75504; (903)
793-4304--address & number are a couple of years old.)
They might send you a free one.
For Bristol VA: Greater Bristol Area C/C, P.O. Box
519, Bristol VA 24203; (615)989-4867.
Your interest in border cities reminded me of a story
someone told me about Lanham, Kansas/Nebr. I checked
the 7.5 minute topo for the area (Odell, NE). Yes,
Lanham is shown as having streets that cross the state
line. I guess it isn't much of a town, now, as it has
no post office. People who live there have to get
their mail in Odell NE.

Hi Justin-
Rand McNally published a map for Texarkana in 1987. If it is still
not available (try their Chicago store), you can always come down and
look at ours. It is not for sale, but you could make copies. Nothing
for Bristol, TN except the USGS 1:24,000 topographic map.
Hope this is of some help.

Well, I grew up in Texarkana, if you have any other questions about it.
I have seen a Texarkana map under Rand McNally's imprint. Otherwise, the
easiest way to get one is probably to request one from the Chamber of
Commerce (they're on the Texas side, area code 903). If I have any spares,
they would be from the 1970s. But I'll be home for Christmas and could
pick one up for you.
