Looking for a very “Texan” gift. The General Land Office will make you a beautiful copy of historical Texas maps at a very reasonable price. In fact, I’ve seen the same maps at poster stores for as much as 10 times time price. If you live in Austin the easiest way is to just head down to the GLO at 1700 N. Congress Ave., Suite 840 and pick out your map with the help of the friendly staff. If you are a bit farther afield, click on the link below. If you are a map nut like me you might want to consider their Adopt-a-Map program.
