I mail maps flat, with a backer board of 200 lb test corrugated, in a clear plastic acid-free sleeve, and in a 200 lb test corrugated folder! So I am confident that it will get to you in good condition.

This map has lots of information of interest to local historians, realtors, genealogists, home owners and business owners, and would make a great gift.
