How to display trail maps?

Unfortunately, I don't have a glasstop coffeetable, and I use tablecloths instead of placemats. Although a guy I know arranges his race bib numbers under the glass on his dinner table top, and it does look really good!
What I had been thinking was to somehow arrange them on posterboard or a frame backing with the covers only showing, then frame them and hang them. It just doesn't allow for adding more maps easily.

A cool thing to try might be to take all your trail maps and just cut out your favorite section. In my cube I have just the Mineral Basin insert rather than the whole Snowbird trailmap, and just the Rosebrook Glades from Bretton Woods. If you're clever enough to cut out sections that are all the same shape you could make something like this, either digitally (scan & upload them) or manually (attach them all to 1 big piece of posterboard): https://hk.geocities.com/book_bugs/lomo_poster.jpg

Oh, this reminds me of a funny story. Last year, I was shopping for a new ski coat for my dad (Christmas gift). I found a great Gore-Tex shell with the zip-out fleece lining at TJ Maxx.
When I was getting it ready to wrap, I noticed that the pockets were kind of lumpy. So I reached in, and pulled out ... a crusty, dog-eared Winter Park trail map, a half-eaten candy bar!!, and some WADDED-UP (and probably used) KLEENEX.
Ick ick ick. Luckily I didn't have any problem returning it ("I swear, someone ELSE used it already, not me!"), and I'm very very glad I didn't give it to my father. Although he got a kick out of the close call.
Anyway, sorry to hijack. Back to the thread ...
(I also have a bunch of interesting trail maps that I don't know what to do with ... most are old, Keystone, Breck, ABasin, Taos from the late 60s/early 70s, Copper from its first season, Beaver Creek from its first two seasons ... )

I had a small stack building up, so I've put them on the wall behind the desk in our office. The room used to be a kid's room so is wallpapered in Tennesee Titans paper (funny, considering we're in PA). It looks kinda cool and I can easily keep adding. I think when we get around to redoing the room I'll get some corkboard and keep the same feel.
