Courtesy of Google Maps, here's an overview of the route I walked from the gate and the approximate location of the photos I took along the way. If you want to check out yourself, here's the appropriate Google Map of the area.

Planning map for BART lines and stations.
In this version, the Peninsula would have been reached by Bayshore, and BART would have run to Daly City through the Twin Peaks Tunnel and a new parallel tunnel.
I really liked the outcome of my previous experiment, so I created a new map using the same technique - but this time, the text inside are the recognizable capital cities around the world. see how many you can spot!
as always, view in full size!
A map of London's population, with each dot representing 50 people and colour-coded according to ethnicity:
White - red dots
Black - blue dots
Asian - green dots
Mixed - purple dots
Chinese and other ethnic groups - orange dots
The map is inspired by Eric Fisher's similar maps of US cities. Go look at his! www.flickr.com/photos/walkingsf/sets/72157624812674967/

This Denny's restaurant in Arcadia, CA has a windmill, a leftover relic from its former days as a Van de Kamps Bakery. Dig that wild googie styled roof, too!
The "Woodcut" map of London, formally titled Civitas Londinum, and often referred to as the "Agas" map of London, is one of the earliest true maps (as opposed to panoramic views, such as those of Anton van den Wyngaerde) of the City of London and its environs. The original map probably dated from the early 1560s, but it survives only in later and slightly modified copies. It was printed from woodcut blocks on eight sheets, and in its present state measures approximately 2 feet 4 inches (71 cm) high by 6 feet (180 cm) wide. (There has been some damage to the blocks, and it was probably originally fractionally larger.)
The Woodcut map is a slightly smaller-scale, cruder and lightly modified copy of the so-called "Copperplate" map, surveyed between 1553 and 1559, which, however, survives only in part. It also bears a close relationship to the map of London included in Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum, published in Cologne and Amsterdam in 1572, although this is on a greatly reduced scale.
The Woodcut map was traditionally attributed to the surveyor and cartographer Ralph Agas, but this attribution is now considered to be erroneous.
Pristers appear three separate times in the Carta Marina, and in each place they’re causing trouble for sailors by either firing ship-sinking torrents of water out of their dual blowholes or just going ahead and making themselves comfortable on the deck. They’re whales. Very angry whales. (Baleen whales do in fact have two blowholes, though they don’t exactly look like straws.)
If you think you’re going to get away with firing a cannon at a prister, Olaus warns that its “Rampart of mighty fat” is virtually impenetrable, though the creature would startle a bit at the sound. More effective would be to pour lye in the water, in the chance you have a bunch of that just taking up space. Better yet, fire off some trumpets, apparently in case pristers hate jazz, and drop empty barrels in the water. According to another 16th century text, pristers “may play and sporte theym, because they are delited in playing with such thinges.” This is where we get the somewhat obscure proverb “like a tub thrown out to a whale,” meaning something that distracts from the issue at hand.
Map of a German Gotha raid
Map 10 from Volume V of the official history "The War in the Air" shows the track of Gotha aeroplane bombing raids on Essex and Kent in May/June 1917. The Royal Air Force was formed largely in response to bombing raids such as this.

Map of Cherchen / Qiemo, mainly in Chinese with some English place names.
In the southern part of Cherchen / Qiemo, the enormous Kunlun Mountain range - marking the northern end of the massive Tibetean plateau, splits into two arms, the Altyn Tagh / Arjin Shan Mountains heading east-north-east and the Qilian Mountains heading east, which together enclose the Qaidam Plateau in Qinghai Province, and the Kunlun Mountains continue southeast.
A major earthquake fault, the Altyn Tagh, runs along the northern side of the Kunlun and Altyn mountains. The county's southern border is with the Tibet Autonomous Region.
Cherchen / Qiemo County is in southwest Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture.

The Aberdare canal can be seen on east side of river terminating at Canal House. Surprisingly, there are no mines shown on the map - or much else, industrially, apart from Abernant Furnace.
A rural setting at that time.

One note added to the map.
This web site documents the access sites on the Wabash River from Huntington, Indiana to the confluence with the Ohio River. It includes pictures and descriptions of the access sites and their amenities.
We personally visited the access sites. The first half of the river (from Huntington to Tecumseh) was done by boat. We then drove to the access sites on the second half of the river (from Terre Haute to the confluence with the Ohio).
ABOUT THE WABASH RIVER
The Wabash has always been Indiana's most famous river. Occupying the heartland of the state, the river drains two-thirds of the 92 counties (over 33,000 square miles) as it flows over 475 miles to its confluence with the Ohio below Mount Vernon. The river rises in Ohio near Fort Recovery and flows for only thirty miles before it becomes entirely an Indiana River. In addition to being Indiana's official state river, the Wabash is also the longest free-flowing river east of the Mississippi.
It is a river of many faces and moods. At times it occupies a huge valley which was carved by a glacial runoff but it also flows through a partially filled valley formed before the glacial advances. In its upper stretches the Wabash moves across the fertile, flat land in a narrow, shallow trench.
A trip down any other river in the state will not give as complete a view of Indiana as the Wabash. You will not experience a pristine natural environment (except in isolated sections) but you will see Indiana today and a glimpse of the past. The river is usually muddy and slow moving as it drains much of Indiana's fertile farmland. This factor alone should not deter you from trying the Wabash. The upper end of the Wabash is very shallow with numerous log jams clogging the river and making navigation of the river tiring in all but high water (and then it may be dangerous).
