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).
Not much changed here in some ways, except for the major reconstructions in the square bounded by Petty Cury, Corn Exchange Street, St Andrews Street and Downing Street to make way for Lion Yard and the Grand Arcade.
Note also the car park denoted on New Square and the vanished lanes to the north of Fitzroy Street.

This kind of viz is minimally useful. I'm not a big fan of this rendering. Uggh. Where's the OMG story? Not here.

A lot of you know I love a map, and if it's in bright colour with attractive illustrations it's even more appealing! This was on one of the old walls between the harbour and old town.
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.

On the evening of Saturday 2nd July 2016 the Branch Line Society along with TransPennine Express, ran the 'Turbo Prop Tracker' a mini tour around Manchester with a pair of Class 170/3 units, 170303 and 170306, which took in a number of loops and sidings along the way.
After nearly 10 years working for TransPennine having come from South West Trains all nine of these units will be very soon moving on to Chiltern Railways.

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.

While there are many records of the Western countries, historical maps of the Middle East are very scarce. Thus, it is really difficult to recreate the historical geography of Turkey, Lebanon, the Kurdish regions, Armenia or Iraq, all the more as the populations were speaking various languages. The replacement of the Ottoman script with a Latin alphabet in 1928, the specific Armenian and Georgian alphabets, the various transcriptions of Arabic words and the numerous transliterations of some names (e.g. from Kurdish to Arabic, then to Ottoman Turkish and finally to modern Turkish) makes it quite impossible to locate some places.
Here is a map of the Ottoman Empire realized by Louis Vivien de Saint-Martin and Adolphe Noël des Vergers and published in Paris by Charles Picquet in 1845. Names and borders are legible. Therefore it will be possible to spot the ancient places with their modern equivalents, to search for the small 19th century Kurdish or Armenian autonomies or to examine the border between the Pashalik of Baghdad and Iran.
