This is a new venture for ITMB, although we have published several recreational hiking maps over the years. The Appalachian mountain range was the original western boundary of the American colonies while under British rule. Everything west of there was technically the French possession of Louisiana Territory, called by American settlers ‘Indian country’. Nowadays, it is a massive recreational hinterland for east coast residents wanting to escape overcrowded cities. The National Parks Service maintains the trail and a series of overnight huts.

Most people only hike a portion of the trail, but for the dedicated hiker, the trail is a great adventure. We have divided the length of the trail into four natural regions: Maine into New York State, Connecticut south to Maryland, Maryland to Virginia, and Virginia to Georgia, to its traditional end at Springer Mountain. This is a demanding trail hike, but one of the most popular in the world.

Route 66, the Mother Road of America, is a travel experience unlike any other. Whether starting east from Santa Monica in California or from Chicago and driving west and south, this is a unique travel experience that anyone can do. Historically, Route 66 was the first road to be paved all the way to the west coast, and was used by millions of troops heading for the Pacific War against the Japanese during WW2. It was also used by millions of Americans heading west in the 1930s to the 'promised land' of California and created such wonders as motels, fast food eateries, rest areas, and neon signs, many of which still exist.

We start our map with an inset of Chicago, showing it following Hwy36 (Route 66 no longer exists except as a historic route), then south to St. Louis, then west to Oklahoma City before one has to move to side 2 for the route west past Albuquerque, then through Flagstaff and the Mojave Desert to Los Angeles and the terminus of Route 66 on the beach at Santa Monica. This map can, of course, be equally valuable driving west to east, as I have done, or east to west. Either way, it is an unforgettable travel experience!

Mexico is an exceptionally interesting country to visit. The country itself is larger than most people realize, making sectional maps essential. We started mapping Mexico in the late 1980s and have gradually added regional maps as time and money enabled. Naturally, touristy popular areas like the Yucatan, Baja, and the Pacific Coast really need specialized maps, but so does the central region of the country. This map covers from Mexico City south to Acapulco and east almost as far as the Guatemalan border on side 1, and from Puebla west to Guadalajara on side 2.

Highlights include the colonial mining town of Taxco, the ruins of the Aztec capital of Teotihuacan, the untouched historical city of Oaxaca, and the mountain centre of Tuxtla Gutierrez. This is a map for driving and exploring and coming to understand one of the most important countries in the Americas.
