This original United States Geological Survey Topographic Map is from the personal collection of a former Boy Scout Troop Leader and avid, lifetime hiker who used the maps for planning hikes for scout camps and events.

USGS Topographic Maps are printed in color on heavy paper.

From the USGS Web site:  Most USGS map series divide the United States into quadrangles bounded by two lines of latitude and two lines of longitude. For example, a 7.5-minute map shows an area that spans 7.5 minutes of latitude and 7.5 minutes of longitude, and it is usually named after the most prominent feature in the quadrangle. Others show a whole area—a county, State, national park, or place of special interest.

Proceeds from your purchase of this map support the all-volunteer, Tennessee-chartered non-profit organization called TNGenWeb Project, which began in 1996 as an affiliate of the USGenWeb Project.  TNGenWeb's goal is to provide free, on-line resources for family genealogists and local historians researching Tennessee subjects.

The map may have notations or markings made by individuals involved in hikes.
