I'm thinking topo maps and road maps. Wallpaper paste? Sealed or unsealed finish? I'm not going for perfection, rather, I'm thinking of using some old used maps. Wrinkles are OK. Curled up edges... not so much. Thanks, Tim

There are various types of Mod Podge. If I were to try it, I would use the outdoor one that is waterproof. Also, the surface that it is being used on should be waterproofed in some way so that no water gets in between the surface and the item being glued on. (That's an automatic thought to most of us; but, some might not think of it.)

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. For now I have just painted the interior walls. After finishing most of the cabin interior I now realize there is very little wall space for maps anyway. I will keep the mop podge stuff idea in the back of my mind as I think I will pick up postcards as I travel and glue them to available wall space. Can't wait until I start my travels. Probably next spring as we are expecting freezing temps in a few days and I still have weeks to finish the TD.

Tim, you just gave me an idea. Why not use corkboard for the back splash. Then one could pin postcards, photos and what not on them.
