Our Daily Challenge 29 December - 4 January : Map.
The walls are thick with mosses with all the damp, and even as a child I thought they looked like maps.
Now, with images from Google Earth in full colour, They are even more like views from above.
An old map measurer wheel (just looked this up on Mr Google to see if there was a proper name for it, but disappointingly there doesn't seem to be one) that must be over 60 years old so I call that ancient! My Dad used to love using it and it came with us on every holiday in the UK.
For Crazy Tuesday: Old
and I hope it counts for 123 pictures in 2023 scientific instrument (without a nice scientific name)
I had this huge map and didn't want to throw it out, so I recycled it. I made a set of map envelopes and postcards. I lined these with left over scrapbook paper.
Had the maps out by the kitchen table, whilst having my afternoon coffee. I'm planning to travel to the Canadian rocky mountains later this year (hopefully), something I've dreamt to see for a long time! Checking and exploring the area via the maps, searching the Internet high and low, thinking this should be a great adventure.

A well used map of the Mc Nib area. Mostly moorland with a few crags and lowland marsh areas only a couple of townships with no roads (because I forgot to draw them), but a few well trodden paths (could have used this for Inktober 3!) The observant among you will have notice the 'X'. Every map should have an "X marks the spot!".

Reminiscing by looking at a Flickr map... What wonderful stories this map of lower Manhattan and its surroundings brings back to me...
I really need the next wider view to really cover my beginnings. I lived, worked, or studied in all the five boroughs of New York City: Staten Island, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx. This map shows only small parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.

A Marble & Granite Workroom
in Chicago uses as Diamond-Blade-Circular-Saw
to cut through Stone Slabs that are NOT cut (machined)
using their CNC-WaterJet-Machine.
The "bed" of that machine is to my eye-
a work of ART!
This is what I am sharing.
Built for the Burgomeister "Diplomatic Attaché Case (DAC)" category of DA4.... a tribute to all of the Decisive Action (as well as the lack thereof) taken by the generals playing out DA4.
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!
Geographical settings (or notional ones, in the case of shows set in imaginary towns and counties) for a whole bunch of British sitcoms, soaps, dramas and other fictional TV series (and one radio soap).
Inspired by Dan Meth's US sitcom map.

Many more titles added, and a lot more order. Still not much going on in Lincolnshire...
It's also LOADS BIGGER now, since I quite fancy getting it printed and sticking it on a wall somewhere at home.
Let me know if you might be interested in same.

This is from the back cover of the Boston Rapid Transit Album, a Boston Street Railway Assn, Inc. publication. It shows the MTA, as the T was known, in the 1940s and 50s. Note the different colored lines: today's Red Line was blue, today's Orange Line was red, and today's Blue Line was orange. The current colors were switched during a system wide rebranding when the MBTA was created (this rebranding also gave us the "T" logo we know and love).
Map used as end covers for “cheap edition" of 'Scott’s Last Expedition' published in 1923 by John Murray. Note the polar bear in the bottom right corner! Needless to say at the time this map was created, it wasn't known that polar bears only existed in the northern polar regions.
