Here the topo map of the Floresta Mine above Crested Butte, Colorado. The D&RG rails served the mine and removed the coal down by Ohio Pass, Kebler Pass, through Crested Butte to their (then) transcontinental main line at Gunnison, Colorado. That was a pretty tangled route through mountain areas but a lot of coal seams were located near Crested Butte. In fact, the DSP&PRR, Denver South Park and Pacific Railroad also had a route to the Baldwin mines that directly attacked Ohio Pass itself. That rail line nearly finished grading to the top of Ohio Pass.
The Floresta operation is shown on the map at the end of old railroad grade and trail near Lily Lake.

The Morbihan coast is a favourite seaside destination for French holiday makers as well as visitors from the rest of Europe. It can get busy during the peak hioliday period, which in France is August.
You really need to view this large. This is the 1939 Texaco map that I keep in the glove box of my 1964 Cadillac, and use on road trips to Ohio. I think the state was prettier before they put in all those freeways.
Maps from my first visit to London in 2000.
Drawn with felt pen on tracing paper, copic markers to underside of tracing paper then stuck on (crookedly!) to white paper and into a black paper photo album.
Hmmm... I like these maps very much - the use of colour and the 3D components are more successful that most of the maps that I do these days....but back then I had more time for these things ...no that was definitely not the case! I was more careful!! And just for the record I traced these maps.
BTW... I am doing more trip preps than I can or will post....
This is a map of the land you live in.
Asmere is the most dissorganised of the countries. It's capital is Talmane which is in the South West corner. The ruler of Asmere does not care much for the rest of his country and is most concerned with building up his wealth in Talmane. A previous ruler had begun work on a road from Talmane to the Dwarven capital but when he died so did the road. It is now called the road to nowhere.
Denmave is the smallest country. It almost should not count as a country, originally it was a part of Asmere but broke off from it many years ago. It has not been taken back due to a general lethargy of the rulers of Asmere. It's capital is Pylae.
Valan, while small, is one of the more powerful countries. It's capital, and pretty much only actual city, it Sadere. It is smack dab in the middle of the Orc lands, the Myrde Mountains, and the ocean. It is an extremely militaristic country due to it being right next to the Orcs. Its main power comes from its army, which is very large. While it is small many people from other countries go there in order to train and while there are a part of the army. Its amry is known for its footsoldiers, mainly pikemen, which are the great majority of its forces. It does not have have many cavalrymen.
Next to nothing is known of Orkan except that the Orcs live there and any who enter invariably die there.
Altearra is the second largest country and probably the most powerful. It's capital is Tedden. Its Eastern border is mostly comprised of the Morden Woods, a very mysterous and dangerous place. While its capital is Tedden its largest city is Madden Meare. Long ago the first wizards established themselves in Tedden. After a small incident involving half the city being destroyed due to a misworded spell the Wizards were banned from Tedden. They then moved South and established a guild in a place called Madden Meare. Years went by and Madden Meare slowly grew and thrived. It is now the most populated city on the continent but due to old grudges the rulers of Altearra never moved their capital there.
Galdean is small and unpowerful. They are however known for their horses, which are raised on the many plains and grasslands across the country.
Jailander is the biggest country by far. It also contains the biggest fortress ever seen, which is its capital, the Haven of Jeade. It is named after the man who began construction on it hundreds of years ago, Jeade. While its construction has never stopped it is large enough to house the entire population of Jailander, and that of any of its neighborring countries. Many many Dwarves have gone there and made their fortune helping with its construction.
Mắt thì thâm, sưng to thấy ghét, môi mỏng như cọng chỉ mà đỏ chét (vì cây son thôi mà), mũi tẹt lét, mặt mập đổ nọng, phòng thì bừa như chuồng lợn, thấy cả cái quần xì hồng, bụng bự như bụng trâu, ngực lép xẹp, đít zảnh chét, mặt đểu như khỉ. Đó là kết quả của xì chét huhu áp lực quá bực bội quá đáng ra toán 9đ mà cũng cái tội tài lanh mà bị trừ bố tiên sư con ĩ Yin khùng.
Tại sao h mình lại quá xa nhau để có thể lại được bên nhau???
Đã cố quên anh vậy sao cứ mơ thấy anh vào mỗi đêm.
Khi thức dậy tức tưởi khóc vì đó chỉ là giấc mơ chỉ là ảo giác em tạo ra.
Biết tất cả đã mãi xa, chỉ còn lại ký ức nhưng sao anh luôn ở trong tâm trý em.
Chẳng biết phải cố quên đến bao giờ.
Trong mơ thấy anh hôn em, ôm em thật chặt nhưng đó chỉ là giấc mơ.
Mà giấc mơ luôn đối ngược với hiện tại.
Có thời gian em đã muốn quên anh, muốn xa lánh anh.
Nhưng chỉ vì cái ôm, cái nắm tay em lại yêu anh thêm lần nữa.
Để rồi bây h em không thể xoá hết mọi thứ dù chỉ là ánh mắt anh nhìn em.
Cắt phén đi mái tóc dài cũng vì muốn quên anh.
Đan khăn len thật đẹp tặng anh hôm Noel vì chỉ muốn trả lại tình cảm cho anh.
Nhưng em vẫn không thể quên được hình bóng anh.
Cố không quay xuống nhìn anh, để không phải thấy nụ cười ấy.
Vì em sợ rằng nụ cười ấy sẽ lại làm em yêu anh lần nữa.
Nhìn cuộc sống hạnh phúc của anh qua ô cửa sổ lớp.
Thấy anh cười, thấy anh tay trong tay với ai kia, thấy anh đỏ mặt khi đi với người ta.
Anh cũng đã từng như vậy với em, nhưng bây h ai kia đã thay em làm anh hạnh phúc.
Em dành một nụ cười để anh sống vui vẻ thoả mãn.
Nhưng anh có nào biết em luôn dằn vặt chính mình mỗi ngày.
Để rồi nhìn vào gương em còn không nhận ra bản thân mình nữa.
Luôn phải đứng dậy lúc gục ngã không có anh bên cạnh.
Nắm chặt lấy tay vì sợ rằng em sẽ níu anh lại về bên mình.
Vì sợ rằng em sẽ ích kỷ chiếm giữ anh cho riêng mình.
Em sợ nụ cười kia sẽ tắt khi ở bên em.
Em đành lòng quay lưng bước đi, bỏ lại anh với hạnh phúc nhỏ.
Chắp tay cầu nguyện cho anh yêu hạnh phúc.

In the early 1940s the village of Derwent in Derbyshire was demolished to make way for Ladybower Reservoir. I have combined a 1924 map of the village with an aerial photo taken from Google Maps to show where the village lay in relation to the current landscape.

Day 8 of our Tour du Mont Blanc, on Exodus' Mont Blanc Circuit trip - a clockwise circumambulation of the Mont Blanc massif
A wonderful day's walking. Despite an ominous weather forecast, the rain held off and although clouds stayed resolutely settled over the Mont Blanc Massif, we got occasional glimpses of glacier, smashing views of the valleys and the skies stayed blue(ish) above us.
Saying au revoir to Camping Grandes Jorasses we took the bus back up the Val Ferret to Lavachey (1,642 m) and, skirting the hotel, followed the signs for Rifugio Walter Bonatti (2,025 m). After a steep ascent through woodland we emerged onto the side of the ridge and wound our way along largely the level taking in the glorious views across the Val Ferret to Les Grandes Jorasses, and meeting plenty of people coming in the other direction.
After a breather at the Bonatti (where we watched a couple of Italian chaps photographing the glaciers and admired the 3D relief maps inside the Rifugio itself) and coffee and hot chocolate for some, we continued on along the path passing through alpine meadows to the shepherds' huts at Armina (2,009 m), and then turning left into the Vallon d'Armina, following the stream up to the ruins at Tsa de Secheron (2,200 m) - a beautiful green valley carpeted with wild flowers, and with those elusive marmots making an appearance.
We lunched at Tsa de Secheron, admiring the views back down towards Les Grandes Jorasses and the Glacier de Tronchey and Glacier de Praz-Sec (I think!), then put our best feet forward for the stiff zig zag climb up to Col Sapin (2,436 m), at the head of the Val Sapin. In between Val Sapin and Val Ferret rises the ridge of the Monte Della Saxe (Mont de la Saxe), which was to be our route back to Courmayeur.
But first we had a further 150 m to climb up a steep and slippery sandy path to reach the Testa della Tronche (Tête de la Tronche) at 2,584 m.... the stunning panoramic views from the cairn were worth it: to the east the exposed rockface / scree ridge we've lunched under turned out to be Tête Entre Deux Sauts, and continuing clockwise from there, a hanging valley that could take you back to Rifugio Bonatti, followed by grey views of the Grande Rochère (3,326m) and the Aiguille de Chambave (3,067) with the Arminaz / Armina stream tumbling down into the valley between them. Crossing the forested slopes of the Val Sapin brought Courmayeur into view, with Mont Chétif and Val Veni (Val Vény) bringing the panorama round to the Ghiacciaio della Brenva (Glacier de la Brenva) and the cloud shrouded peaks of the Mont Blanc Massif that loom over Val Ferret.
After photos and sweets we set off at our own paces downhill, relatively steeply at first until we'd passed the Testa Bernarda (Tête Bernada, 2,534 m) before the path levelled for a lengthy undulating stroll along the ridge of the Monte Della Saxe which runs pretty much East-West. Ahead of us we had the stunning pyramid of Mont Chétif while to the north we had elevated views of the glaciers that flow down and around Les Grandes Jorasses and the Aiguilles Rouges de Rochefort. Behind us, to the east, we might have been able to see our route down from the Grand Col Ferret had the weather been clearer but even so we had a great view back up Val Ferret, and further along the Monte Della Saxe a bird's eye view down onto Planpincieux. And everywhere, throughout the day, beautiful flowers.
As we drew closer to the end of the ridge, Pointe Helbronner, Rifugio Torino and the cranes at the construction site of the new cable car station came into clear view - but Mont Blanc and associated ridges, peaks and passes remained hidden.
A steep descent brought us to picturesque Rifugio Bertone (2,000 m) and more reclining deckchairs to take the weight off our feet. Another steep descent took us down into the tree line and - eventually (the walk down felt neverending, especially for the knees) - to pretty Villair Superiore and thence into Courmayeur... just in time for another double scoop icecream from the gelateria yogurteria on Piazza Brocherel, and the 4.30pm bus.
The bus took us up the steep, narrow and winding road into Val Veni.... with more than a few close encounters with other vehicles, before we reached the day's end at the Campeggio Aiguille-Noire. Glorious hot showers, stunning scenery (including, naturally the Aiguille Noire de Peuterey, this time from a different angle) - plus a beer and chippies or two...
Once the sun went behind the mountains it got a tad chilly, but dinner at La Zerotta warmed us up - particularly the meat and cheese platters for starters! The tomato pasta main course was a bit ropey, but the kitchen won us back round again with the dark chocolate torte for dessert.
A smashing day.
Note: I must credit the map (fig 1) in Interactions between rock avalanches and glaciers in the Mont Blanc massif during the late Holocene by Philip Deline, for helping me to identify the glaciers, and Walking Europe & Beyond for the description of the route (albeit in the reverse) in Walk 6103 - Courmayeur - Mont De La Saxe - Val Ferret.... when Wikipedia and Google Maps don't quite give the detail I need!

Perhaps it depends entirely on the user: Do you want aerial photographs so you can experience the fun of spotting your own place on Earth from a Satellite? Does the photograph provide affirmation that your patch is as photogenic or democratically important as the next person’s?
If you actually use electronic maps as a tool for locative information, distance between places, as a navigation device like a paper map, is the photographic so helpful? Would another form be of more use?
