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

Whitechapel/Spitalfields
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.
chirstchurch, spitalfields. A Hawksmoor Church. Situated on pentangles and lay lines, I'll be bound.
S. Schwartz Fournier Street. Paste up by Swoon, early 18th century houses, 19th/ early 20th century business.
monster? Remember -- not Frankenstein, Frankenstein's monster (gratuitous link to my own writing).
In the new square at Trondheim, this map of the river Nidelven has been made. Really nicely done.

This map shows a heatmap of 175,000 4.5+ magnitude earthquakes since 1973 based on data from the USGS (United States Geological Survey). And worldwide locations of nuclear power stations using information from the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency).
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.
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.
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.
A Map Showing the Places in Wicklow Visited by some Travel Writers in 18th and 19th Century & the Routes Taken
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.

Just like the new county-wide map, the new Woking bus map (effective September 2011) is riddled with errors.
Can anyone see any others?
