So, when I was a kid, my parents had a summer home right here:
http://mapper.acme.com/?ll=41.42529,-74.96392&z=14&t=T
I bought a copy of that 7.5' quad, grabbed some window glass from a
cottage renovation, and made a coffee table with about ten layers of
glass. I laboriously cut the map at every other topographic line, and
laid on the appropriate piece of glass. It was way cool, except that
it's pretty tough to see through ten layers of glass. I left it there
when we sold the cottage. I hope the new owners still have it.
If I was going to do that again, I would have glued the map on some
kind of stiff board. I'd cut it out using a jigsaw, and glue up the
layers on spacers. I'd put just one layer of glass over the top for
protection from the elements and pokey fingers.
