Hey, I've still got some of my dad's old War Department/AMS maps. Those were good maps. 1:62,500 is a little tough to do detailed land nav off of, but for multi-day trips it's nice to have the equivalent of four 1:24,000 map sheets on one smaller sheet of paper.

Scale is critical. Years ago, we attempted a summit for which the only available map was an aeronautical chart. I can guarantee that a lot of critical features are not depicted at that scale...
