A comparison map (low resolution) I found on-line sometime back. It was posted for a while by Alaska Sea Adventures. Hope they don't mind me using the map or giving them the plug!

Our road trip route across the US. Stars show cities we started and ended in, as well as the cities we stayed in overnight, which are marked with the day number in red.
It appears that this map is from 1977. I couldn't find a typical print year on it, just a code that said 1/77, which is likely the print date. This map does show all the Amoco gas stations in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia at the time. The locations were few and far between though.
This map also had some interesting ads in it too some chains were represented by a certain number on the map. Others, such as Albert Pick Hotels, Holiday Inn, and Coachmen Recreational Vehicles were represented by their logo.
Here are some more maps and map images that I figured I would share to go along with the ones I posted before. I figured I would do these as a mass upload then go back to the more typical retail pictures I post.
The full road maps were way too large to fit into the scanner and I didn't want to risk damaging the maps so I mostly copied covers, advertisements, and certain city maps. I do want to figure out a decent way to photograph the full maps without harming them. All of these ones are larger than the Ohio Turnpike Map I posted before.

Somaliland Minerals Ministry Starts Selling New Oil Blocks « Hargeisa City - Sent Using Google Tool bar.

Geological map of Somaliland showing late I980’s block concessions held by the various US oil companies during the Siyad Barre government
Hargeysa, Somaliland, May 31, 2008 (SL Times) – The Somaliland ministry of Water Mineral Resources has started awarding concessions to interested oil companies.
According to the director general of the ministry, Ahmed Ibrahim Suldan, a UK-based Norwegian-owned company called Asante Oil has already purchased rights to a new oil block.
Mr. Suldan disclosed to Jamhuuriya newspaper on Friday that the deal with Asante Oil was negotiated during a recent trip that he and the minister of Water and Minerals Qassim Yusuf, have made to the UK and the USA.
It was only last month when Somaliland president Dahir Riyale Kahin told Reuters that one of his priorities for this year was an auction for oil exploration licenses pending the wrapping up of a data seismic survey by TGS-Nopec, a Norwegian oil service company.
In a subsequent statement issued also in April, the Somaliland ministry of Water and Mineral Resources said that the survey was completed and the data was being processed for an international bid round planned for late 2008.
The data acquired by TGS was not expected to be made available to clients before the third quarter of this year.
However in yesterday’s Jamhuuriya interview, the director general of the MW&MR gave no explanation for what prompted the government to cut a deal with Asante Oil before the release of data survey results except to say that the company was eager to stay one jump ahead of others.
Mr. Suldan said that he hopes drilling for oil in Somaliland will commence by 2009.
He made no mention of the amount of money that Asante Oil agreed to pay for its acquisition in Somaliland.
The granting of concessions for oil and minerals exploration in Somaliland is often done in secrecy.
Only Minister Qassim is allowed to represent the Somaliland side in any negotiations concerning the financial aspects of such deals. All agreements however have to be endorsed by Qassim’s boss, Riyale.
Under Qassim, the MW&MR is known to have signed about a dozen of oil and minerals exploration agreements with foreign firms and individuals. None of these agreements have been submitted to parliament for ratification as required by the Somaliland law.
Both Qassim and Riyale have so far paid no heed to repeated calls by the parliament that the administration should seek ratification for exploration agreements it had concluded with foreign companies.

An experiment at producing a Hachure map, a vintage cartographic style which predates contour lines. Aiming for an 18th century look using 21st century tools and data.
Done in QGIS 2.18.10 using...
- QuickOSM to download the data
- QChainage to get equidistant points round contour lines
- Slope and aspect rasters
- Point sampling tool
- SVG markers rotated according to aspect
- arrow_04.svg (bult-in arrow symbol) gives best results and optical weight IMO, at least when viewed from a distance. I should be less lazy and make my own in Inkscape!
added subtle background (a photo I took of mould-ridden paper, highly transparent but it gives a bit of texture and variety that a white background wouldn't have)
Copperplate Font is Exmouth for that 1750s vibe ;-) It's a bit tricky to read, I know...

Not to be confused with the North American Great Lakes.
Unlike the North American Great Lakes, which experience twice yearly turnovers in the Spring and Fall, the deep layers of these lakes can build up dangerous large volumes of dissolved gases.
Lake Kivu, in particular, is at risk of a Limnic Eruption.
Part of Kroll Atlas from the mid 1900s (don't know exact year) showing a typo of Bandana for Bandera. Other interesting things about this map:
1) Mason Lake was called Short Lake
2) Camp Maxon on the Sunset Highway
3) Ranger station at the Pratt Lake/Granite Mtn trailhead
4) Denny Lake was called Lake Evelyn
5) There was a small State Park where I-90 exit 45 is now
More sketches from Paraty. I'm never oriented until I draw a map. Sketched from a variety of sources, none of which seemed to show all the things I wanted to see.

I've noted the location of the following more precisely on knautia's (fantastic) 1890's map:
represent I couldn't tell if this was ironic retro graffiti, or if it was real Man U and Hammersmith stuff. In any case: it looks retro.
verde & co Not surprisingly they don't just sell oranges. I had no idea who ran this shop until I looked it up on the web just now. Gilbert and George used to help run a cafe on Fournier Street nearby, so artist run buisnesses are a tradition in the neighborhood.

This video shows the rise and fall of civilisations, city states and nations between 2000BC and the present day, covering Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
Rendering was done in QGIS using 'save as image'. Each one of 20 or so layers was saved as a different image (frame_0001.png, frame_0002.png, etc). Projection is European Albers Equal Area Conic.
To keep colours consistent between frames, I used a python function in QGIS to create a unique consistent colour for each country name, based on the first 3 bytes of the MD5 hash (so for example "Norway" always hashes to color '#D5B929FF' )
The video was created using a two line bash script, using convert (imagemagick) and ffmpeg. The convert does the colour interpolation, and ffmpeg stitches those frames into an mp4 video.
convert frame_*.png -delay 10 -morph 30 %05d.morph.png
ffmpeg -i %05d.morph.png -r 12 -qscale 2 output.mp4
Data was from this github repo.

In the early 1980s, there was some talk among environmentalists about using waste heat from Intalco Aluminum (now Alcoa) for heat. Possibly piping it to Bellingham from the Intalco plant near Ferndale, WA. I was intrigued by the idea so I drew a map for what I thought would be an efficient route to go past many of the major buildings in Bellingham with the least amount of pipe laying required.
