Trade routes across Europe and to the near points of the Middle East and North Africa, from the late Medieval period.
Rendered in the style of the epochal diagram, the tube map. Turns out that having non-45 degree diagonals is actually really important in establishing that Tube look.

What's underneath the electronic system map on the new TTC Rocket subway trains. Looks like the lights for the Spadina subway extension stations are already there.
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.
I'd never noticed this cool map of Greenwich Village on a wall on West 4th Street. The good thing is, if you're lost it's so small....just keep walking.....

Hand drawn maps made during the last 20 years reflecting representations of the european city faced with automobile and sprawl.
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.

Kryukov & Co - Illustrirovannyi Plan Moskovi i yeye Okrestnostmy (1910)
A highly decorative and large-scale plan of Moscow, depicting the city not long before the Revolution of 1917.
This magnificent map depicts all of Moscow and its environs as it appeared in 1910, during the twilight of the Czarist period. In large scale, the city unfolds with all of its 41 wards and the various parks distinguished by color, following the concentric pattern that was the hallmark of the city’s development. The major edifices of the city: palaces, churches, government buildings, theaters and museums are expressed pictorially, while all major roads and landmarks are labeled. The elaborate network of railways connecting Moscow to the rest of the Russian Empire weave out of the city, including the western terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. A detailed inset features a plan of the Kremlin. With its period Art Nouveau border, the map assumes an artistically virtuous appearance.
At the time that this map was issued, Moscow’s economy was growing rapidly, and its population was around 1.5 million, having doubled in the previous 20 years. One of the most interesting features of the map is its demarcation of the city’s tramline system. In 1872, the Compagnie générale des tramways de Moscou et de Russie, had introduced horse-drawn trams to the city. The network rapidly expanded, and from 1899 electric trams were progressively replacing the equestrian lines. The map distinguishes the various horse and electric systems.
Also prominent is the ring road (colored in bold red) that encircles the outskirts of the city. By this time the road, known as the ‘Third Ring’, had been proposed and construction had commenced, although the Revolution would place the project on hold. It was fitfully continued throughout the 20th Century, but was not fully completed until 2004.
This large map is exceptional in that it was intended to be both a fine work of art and a practical aid for navigating Moscow. It provides an unparalleled insight into the nature of Moscow shortly before Soviet planners redeveloped the city. While many key features still survive, the map is a primary artifact of an exciting and prosperous, yet bygone era.
The present map is very rare, we have never before encountered an example and have only been able to locate a single example in Russian state collections. The map would appear to have first been issued in 1907, as the date 1907 can be seen in the darker red area at the bottom right of the map. The rarity of the map may be accounted for by the fact that examples would have been hung up on the wall and subject to use and wear.

Where I will be spending next week...
Iquitos is only accessible by boat and plane - but it is quite a large town despite its isolation.
We will be traveling up and down the river, hopefully capturing some amazing photography along the way...
This map looks like the Paris metro map but instead of real names I put words of great love songs !
All by myself - I can't live - Sexual healing - Change your heart - Eternal flame - For your precious love - Fever - Total eclipse of the heart - If you leave me now - At last - The way you look tonight - I'll be there - I've got you under my skin - Can't take my eyes off of you - Close to you - Ain't no sunshine - Falling - I will always love you - Cry me a river - Bang bang - Dream a little dream of me.

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

This video shows the rise and fall of civilisations, city states and nations between 2000BC and the present day, covering Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
Rendering was done in QGIS using 'save as image'. Each one of 20 or so layers was saved as a different image (frame_0001.png, frame_0002.png, etc). Projection is European Albers Equal Area Conic.
To keep colours consistent between frames, I used a python function in QGIS to create a unique consistent colour for each country name, based on the first 3 bytes of the MD5 hash (so for example "Norway" always hashes to color '#D5B929FF' )
The video was created using a two line bash script, using convert (imagemagick) and ffmpeg. The convert does the colour interpolation, and ffmpeg stitches those frames into an mp4 video.
convert frame_*.png -delay 10 -morph 30 %05d.morph.png
ffmpeg -i %05d.morph.png -r 12 -qscale 2 output.mp4

I'm looking at the question, "where do you live?" on the batch of survey responses I've received thus far, and decided to hand-geocode them - which resulted in almost exactly the map I expected.
Blue dots are SurveyMonkey responses, largely resulting from a link e-mailed to neighborhood association contacts. Pink dots are paper responses from surveys distributed via the public library, City Hall, the public housing commission, and the free medical clinic.
The resulting map sums up Ypsi's digital divide pretty handily, but also demonstrates the coordination levels of various neighborhood associations.

I love map tacks. How about you?
Unfortunately I couldn't find that many lovely colors in the market. Most of the ones I found were primary colors. Then one night I dreamt of a whole lot of map tacks in adorable pastel colors. Haha! That sounds silly but when I woke up I was still thinking about that dream...and then I decided to color my own map tacks using nail polish! Blogged here
