Tokyo Railway System is a railway map of Tokyo metropolitan area whose overall image is inspired by the circle of the Japanese national flag, Hinomaru. Intricate scheme of lines spread out to span the entire city area along concentric circles, with the Yamanote line forming the central circle. This map includes more than 1500 stations and over 100 lines covering not only Tokyo but also the surrounding regions of Yokohama, Chiba, Omiya, Hachioji, and Kawagoe.

"The Capital Crescent Trail (CCT) is a rail trail project running though the Northwest D.C. Area. On weekends, it is a VERY popular spot for local cyclists and rollerbladers. During weekdays, bike commuters use the CCT to travel between Downtown DC and the Northwest Suburbs.
The southern 7 miles between Georgetown and Bethesda has a 9-foot wide asphalt surface and is in excellent condition. The northern Georgetown Branch extension provides a crushed gravel surface for the final 4 miles between Bethesda and Silver Spring. The two trails are connected by a brand new tunnel located under downtown Bethesda."
i love maps, especially vintage ones; and i've been punching circles out of anything that'll stay still all summer. what can i say? it seemed like a natural partnership for this page.

A map of London and environs, dated 1852. This area is now part of Greater London. At the time, it comprised the City of London, City of Westminster, and parts of the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, and Kent.
The built-up area in 1852 was not much greater than what is now called Central London, with part of the East End. There was not much development west of Mayfair, which had many of the aristocratic mansions.
One feature of the map is the railroad lines entering London. Four of the main stations had already been built. One feature of the map is the railroad lines entering London. Four of the main stations had already been built. Euston was first built in 1837, and rebuilt in something like its present form in 1849. Paddington was opened in 1838, and was rebuilt in 1854. Waterloo was opened in 1848, and took its present form in 1922. Kings Cross was opened in 1852.
Other important stations which had not yet been built were Victoria (1860), Charing Cross (1864), St. Pancras (1868), and Liverpool Street (1874). Other stations are on the map, but I presume that they have since disappeared.
The map was made by George Cox, and published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. It seems appropriate to geotag it with St. Paul's Cathedral.
Each pixel in "original" size is 5 square miles.
These are all 3015 15-mile-square places in the world where there was a cluster of geotagged pictures in close proximity. The tourist/local split is basically worthless at this scale, where every square is locals at the edges with maybe a dot or two of tourist-dominated area somewhere in it. Tourists may take more total pictures in some areas, but their locations are always more concentrated.
The pub is on the corner of School Lane and 17 Old Post Office Place, and no way can it be said to have been built on the site of the old Post Office, despite a book on Liverpool's pubs saying it dates from c1800 (the pub, that is)
The pub itself doesn't seem to be any older than the first quarter of the 20th Century.
The map is an extract from the 1847-8 OS - original in the LRO.

I worked on this puzzle several days last week, just to keep myself puzzling. The puzzle has a great feel with a special "wood finish" texture of pieces.
This photo has a bit warmer colors, as it was not taken on direct daylight.
Jasper Johns. (American, born 1930). Map. 1961. Oil on canvas, 6' 6" x 10' 3 1/8" (198.2 x 314.7 cm). Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Scull. © 2008 Jasper Johns / Licensed by VAGA, New York
Reflecting on his choice of easily recognizable images, Johns said that he was interested in "the idea of knowing an image rather than just seeing it out of the corner of your eye." The map of the United States, in its ubiquity and iconicity, is "seen and not looked at, not examined." Preserving the overall proportions of the country and the shape of its states, Johns's energetic application of paint
subverts the conventions of cartography, as do the stenciled names of states, such as Colorado, which is repeated in several locations. Map invites close inspection because its content is both familiar and imaginary.
