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.

An image today of a bygone age. An age when Europe was replete with Imperial Powers, when Europe dominated huge swathes of the globe with mixed effects. Shortly after this image was created it all came tumbling down.
With thanks to all for the contributions today, most of the comments (below) focused less on how the lines on the map have changed, but perhaps how the names by which we know many places have changed over time. Have a great weekend all.....

I have to make this public in order to use it for a group. Please pay no attention to this.
Edit: This needs to remain public I suppose, so you might as well pay attention to it. :P
Anyway, this is just a map I drew awhile ago (not the background though, that's edited) I'm using it as a background for a WIP group. And I suppose it needs to remain public to work, so yeah, here it is.
Went on an English Heritage members only tour of Fort Widley. Fort Widley is one of the forts surrounding Portsmouth dockyard to prevent it being attacked from the land.
A view of the map room in the nuclear bunker under Fort Widley in the old magazine. One of the "Cold War" Civil Defence Centres.

Constructive and destructive comments are always welcome! Don't be shy and say something about the picture :) feedback is always useful.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. BBN is the random scatter of green in the middle (early ARPANET). Sprint is the organized star topology in purple near the top. AOL is a gray disconnected island in the lower center. There is little correlation between this network connectivity graph and physical geography, except for a clustering of Pac Rim connectivity.
Here is a gallery of Internet maps by Ches of Lumeta, and Ben below provides a link to a huge map with labels.
This technique can also see the network “lights go out” during wartime bombing raids.
In a nutshell, they use a modified hacker trick of sending a storm of IP packets out randomly across the network. Each packet is programmed to self-destruct after a delay, and when this happens, the packet failure notice reports back the path the packet took before it died. To visualize this sea of data, Ches applied place & route software from the semiconductor CAD industry to untangle the hairball of data and spread it out in a 2D map that humans can easily absorb. In these maps, one can see security gaps and unknown network connections. (disclosure: we invested them when they spun out of Bell Labs)
Wasn't planning on trying to buy anything, but the fact that this map was still intact had my interest peaked. After the whole Wellsville mess, I thought I'll give it a go here. BTW, I've got an update for Wellsville with a story on Wednesday.

In the past I've posted about some experiments I had done with Flickr Commons images on Google Earth and the Layar mobile phone Augmented Reality browser - see www.whatsthatpicture.com/2011/12/mapping-flickr-commons
I have recently also got a web version up and running using OpenStreetMap and whilst it's not quite as slick as I'd like it top be I thought I'd throw it out to you to get some feedback - see www.whatsthatpicture.com/flickr/commons-map.php
Note that for performance reasons it will only show 250 images at a time, but you'll always see at the bottom the total number of Commons images there are in the region displayed. To see more just zoom in and pan around. If you want a good region to try it out in I'd suggest heading to Ireland, as shown in the above screen capture!
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.).
LOCATION: ALL OF CANADA!
This was originally the "M" on the Mapes Hotel and Casino sign in Reno. The art deco hotel was demolished to make way for a giant slab of concrete. This cowboy shaped "M" can be seen inside the Pioneer Hotel building at the Western Folklife Center in Elko, Nevada.
NASA image release November 16, 2011
The science team that oversees the imaging system on board NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has released the highest resolution near-global topographic map of the moon ever created.
This new topographic map, from Arizona State University in Tempe, shows the surface shape and features over nearly the entire moon with a pixel scale close to 100 meters (328 feet). A single measure of elevation (one pixel) is about the size of two football fields placed side-by-side.

Iceland 1595
This map by Abraham Ortelius depicts Iceland in great detail, including its mountains, fjords, glaciers and a depiction of Mount Hekla erupting. The map includes over 200 place names, primarily Danish in origin.
The map illustrates a variety of legendary and mythical sea monsters and creatures of the 15th and 16th Century.
