The map that returns from every walk folded wrong and never right again.

The trailmapfold accumulates: each refold follows the previous creases until the map opens only at the lake. New folds are attempted in wind and abandoned. The map is read by sector, argued over at junctions, and retired to the gearloft with its creases as the walk's only record.

Etym. — trail map + fold — the paper's memory of every journey.

Rel. — tentfolddefeat · gearloft
