If we are looking at non-UK mapping, then the "Geologic Map of the Jemez
Mountains, New Mexico", R L Smith, R A Bailey and C S Ross, USGS, 1970,
Miscellaneous Investigations Series is widely regarded as a classic by
geologists. Having had the opportunity to compare the map with the
stunning reality, I can confirm that this map is a very impressive piece
of work, clearly (to the geological eye!) representing the evolution and
structure of a major volcanic edifice.

Suggestions so far seem rather parochial, so can I also add (following
Bill
Johnson's National Geographic suggestion), the Bradford Washburn maps
of
either/or the Grand Canyon and Everest (also published by NG). There
must
also be something worthwhile among all that planetary mapping from
NASA/USGS, such as the large-scale airbrush relief maps of the Moon
from
the 1960s.
