Used in classrooms to help draw maps. I had loads of these during my schooling in the 80s.
I want to know if these were made in other countries? Finland? Japan? South Africa? Argentina?
Let me know!

Idaho makes no sense. I speak from experience, having lived in the state for 20 years. Because it was cobbled together from leftovers, Idaho’s regions have nothing in common—they go together about as well as peanut butter and jellyfish.
This problem was understood as far back as 1886, when a bill was passed by Congress that would have eliminated Idaho altogether—giving the south to Nevada and the north to Washington. Alas, President Grover Cleveland vetoed the measure.
In 1907, the best plan of all was proposed, creating the state of Lincoln from northern Idaho and eastern Washington. This brilliant plan not only solved the Idaho problem, but it also made more sense of Washington and Oregon—because both of those states are profoundly divided by the Cascade mountains.

August 5, 2009. Our local transit agency, Codiac Transit, won't release a full system map, so I'm making one, which I'll post online and print out. Here is the Google Maps version.

I know - I'm a sap. I'm still new enough to driving that this stuff is still interesting to me.
I took my first motorway journey yesterday - scary to say the least, then after a few minutes (getting into the traffic is the worst bit) very peaceful and relaxing.
The one thing I could never have predicted before learning to drive (at my advanced age!) was that I'd enjoy it so much.
Thanks to the wonderful Lorraine for coming with.

This is taking forever! I am on the last panel but I ran out of blue and need to order more. Aside from that I am 3/4 done!
The map is knitted in 4 panels. Last one and I run out of blue!
Also known as a wayfinding map. A very creative way to re-vamp a building's plain façade facing the Chicago River. I thought it was clever and fun. :-)
The gentle Yakima River winds through massive basalt cliffs and rolling desert hills for 27 miles. The canyon offers excellent wildlife watching, plant viewing, fishing in a Blue Ribbon trout stream, family-friendly rafting and camping. The BLM manages over 9,000 acres in the Yakima River Canyon area, including four developed river access sites: Umtanum (a footbridge at the site provides the only pedestrian access to the west side of the river within the Yakima River Canyon), Lmuma Creek, Big Pines, and Roza (the main take out for all river floaters due to the Roza dam a half mile downstream of the site.)
Know Before You Go:
-The recreation sites are open YEAR ROUND.
-There are overnight ($15/site) and day-use ($5/vehicle) fees.
-Reservations for campsites may be made at recreation.gov from May 15 to September 15.
-The Umtanum Recreation Site contains six RV/tent campsites.
-Lmuma Creek contains seven RV/tent campsites.
-Big Pines contains 41 (38 RV and three walk in only) campsites.
-Roza contains six RV/tent campsites.
-Roza also has a concrete boat launch to accommodate motorized boat users for use downstream of the boat launch.
-Amenities at all four sites include: picnic tables and fire rings, vault toilets, a river put-in/take-out site and garbage collection.
-Hookups and potable water are not provided at any site.
-Cellular phone coverage is limited in many areas of the Yakima River Canyon.
Directions: From Ellensburg, Washington, take Hwy 821 (Canyon Road) south into the Yakima River Canyon. Umtanum is located at milepost 16, Lmuma Creek is located at milepost 12, Big Pines is located at milepost 10 and Roza is located at milepost 7, a half mile above Roza dam and about 25 miles south of Ellensburg.
