Amen, Tom!  I don't have any of the above maps, but do have a '93 vintage Quetico Foundation map. 

While I don't have a hanging wall map, my map case is never put away and pictures from trips gone by adorn my walls.  Mrs. JJcanoeguide wonders how I can review maps for hours at a time, completely oblivous to what's going on in the "real world".    I just chalk it up to an escape to a state of mind that makes me just a little more sanguine.  Plus, I think all of us would agree that in most ways, the Quetico/BW is the "real world".

What's on your wall-ette :question...... Speaking of maps ...Ckeck out this map case I was able to pick up at an auction ......yep, full of maps...some real beauties  stuffed in it....guys, basements and maps....I'm guilty as charged .....now, got to pick up one of those Quetico foundation sattlelite photo maps.....they are nice

snowdog: one of the maps is a 1970 Providence of Ontario, Dept. of Land and Forests map titled "Agness Lake". It is 24"x17' and covers a good part of Q. Scale 1" to 2 miles. Several of the same series maps of covering the remaing portions of Q  and a few U.S. G.S. quad maps (about 50) covering N.E. MN. and a couple 1948 Superior N.F.  timber survey maps were also included

the drafting table to the right of the map case was also included in the lot of stuff I bid on, but those items aren't what I was bidding on, but I had to take them.......to get what I wanted .  The map case I wanted and was outbid on was Oak with brass hardware...now that was a nice map case
