Geographical settings (or notional ones, in the case of shows set in imaginary towns and counties) for a whole bunch of British sitcoms, soaps, dramas and other fictional TV series (and one radio soap).
Inspired by Dan Meth's US sitcom map.

-- The Borders & Dumfries/Galloway
-- Northern Ireland
-- The Grampians
-- The Highlands
-- Exmoor & Dartmoor
-- Wiltshire & Hampshire
-- Lincolnshire

Many more titles added, and a lot more order. Still not much going on in Lincolnshire...
It's also LOADS BIGGER now, since I quite fancy getting it printed and sticking it on a wall somewhere at home.
Let me know if you might be interested in same.
This B & W Map was copied from the Internet, then coloured and highlighted by me, to show just how large Canada is as compared to Europe. The Quote is from 'Canada Facts', also from the Internet. Canada is outlined in red.
Please enlarge the map to see it better.
Canada is populated mainly in cities close to the US Border and has only 1/10th of the population of the US. Services are therefore more limited in evey aspect, due to the thousands of miles across Canada with empty, almost unpopulated areas, more evident in the Northern areas. Parts of the Great Lakes are on the US Side, but I had no accurate area to draw the dividing red line.
"Canada is the world's second largest country with an area of 9,970,610 km. (3,851,809 sq. mi.). Russia is the largest with an area of 17,075,272 km. (6,591,055 sq. mi.). Continental United states has an area of 9,428,692 km. (3,639,475 sq. mi.), but with Hawaii, Alaska andits territories it has a combined area of 10,828,548 km. (4,179,819 sq. mi.). Brazil has an area of 8,544,822 km. (3,298,301 sq. mi.). China has a continental area of 9,634,014 km. (3,718,729 sq. mi.), but with outlying territories added it has a combined area of 13,679,699km. (5,280,384 sq. mi.).

NDCS team away day looking at the impact of the Cameron government's cuts on social care for deaf children and young people. We visualised the cuts as a dark raincloud, and NDCS campaigns and services as a sunburst of hope.
Challenging times. I do like colourful mind maps and post it notes, and here's the result of our afternoon session.

This is from the back cover of the Boston Rapid Transit Album, a Boston Street Railway Assn, Inc. publication. It shows the MTA, as the T was known, in the 1940s and 50s. Note the different colored lines: today's Red Line was blue, today's Orange Line was red, and today's Blue Line was orange. The current colors were switched during a system wide rebranding when the MBTA was created (this rebranding also gave us the "T" logo we know and love).
Map used as end covers for “cheap edition" of 'Scott’s Last Expedition' published in 1923 by John Murray. Note the polar bear in the bottom right corner! Needless to say at the time this map was created, it wasn't known that polar bears only existed in the northern polar regions.

I was astounded by Bill Rankin's map of Chicago's racial and ethnic divides and wanted to see what other cities looked like mapped the same way. To match his map, Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, Orange is Hispanic, Gray is Other, and each dot is 25 people. Data from Census 2000. Base map © OpenStreetMap, CC-BY-SA
I saved the old road atlases that my family used in our travels around North America and the UK. A few years ago I used some pages to decorate my dresser, selecting places that were sentimental to me. I still have lots of pages to use up.
The wood was salvaged from a scrap bin, and the hearts were cut out on a laser cutter. The ribbon was given to me by a friend of a friend- she's moving and needed to get rid of a bunch of crafty material.

The Map Butterfly (Araschnia levana) is so named because the wings of its spring generation are marked a bit like a road map. However, this butterfly is famous for having a highly dissimilar summer generation, which has largely black wings with a single white band across. The summer generation resembles a tiny White Admiral more than it resembles its orange map-winged spring generation. It is quite common in Continental Europe but is absent from Britain. It was introduced to both Monmouthshire and Herefordshire in 1912 but only lasted a couple of years. A number were seen in Dorset in 2014 but it seems generally agreed that these too were introduced rather than genuine natural colonists. They are cousins of the Red Admiral but much, much smaller. But their caterpillars similarly feed on nettles. I photographed this spring brood male in Estonia where they seemed to be quite common.
Its scientific name Araschnia also describes the reticulate wing pattern of the spring brood. It comes from the Greek word "arakhnion" for spider's web. Levana was an obscure Roman goddess.

The Vatican Museums (Italian: Musei Vaticani) are the museums of the Vatican City and are located within the city's boundaries. They display works from the immense collection built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world. Pope Julius II founded the museums in the early 16th century. The Sistine Chapel with its ceiling decorated by Michelangelo and the Stanze della Segnatura decorated by Raphael are on the visitor route through the Vatican Museums.
The Gallery of Maps (Italian: Galleria delle carte geografiche) is a gallery located on the west side of the Belvedere Courtyard in the Vatican museum, containing a series of painted topographical maps of Italy based on drawings by friar and geographer Ignazio Danti. The decorations on the vaulted ceiling are the work of a group of Mannerist artists including Cesare Nebbia and Girolamo Muziano.
