You don't see your city, please add a note (with a link) on the map ! How?
A bit of artistic licence is going on.
The street is made to appear much wider than it actually was.
This was usual.
The map is dated 1823-24.
Great Charlotte Street is the first street on the right,
Cases Street is the first street at the Church Street end.
The shops in Church Street are quite tall being 5 stories high -
of course this is before elevators were invented.
The churches from left to right are:
St Peter's in Church Street;
St Georges in Derby Square, Lord Street;
and St Nicholas, the only one which survives.

The first Western map to show the Philippines as a separate area specifically devoted to, and which used the term “Philippines” as its title, was the Insulae Philippinae of Langenes (1598), which is taken directly rom the Linschoten map of 1595, with its peculiar east west orientation of the archipelago and strange angle for Palawan. This map represents the first tolerably accurate depiction of the archipelago’s complicated shores, including Luzon, whose fine port of Manila had quickly become the center of the Spanish empire in the Indies. The only major error in the general outline of Luzon is in the winding peninsular region to the southeast, which should extend much further than is, in fact, presented.
Samar is accurately shown for the first time, labeling it on the map as both Achan, a name which is sometimes applied to the island’s northern half, and Tandola (or Tandaya), which was actually the name of a region of the island. When the Spanish expedition under Legaspi reached Samar in 1565, they asked for the island’s name, but their source — who was the nephew of the chief — simply gave the name of his uncle. The maze of islands in between Luzon and Mindanao are still only crudely represented, though the major islands are nonetheless depicted: Mindara (Mindoro), Panama (Panay), Cabu (Cebu), Saburna (Leyte), Negoes (Negroes), and Masbate (unnamed). On the west, as with many Iberian charts of the time, Palawan has been confused with Calamianes, a group of small islands situated between Mindoro and Paragua or Palawan.
Other names found on this map include G. de Matalahambre, on the east coast of Luzon, is the ‘gulf of killing the hunger’ where a good feast must have been had; Ancon triste (sad cove), Pintados (painted), Moro Hermoso (beautiful Moor), and C. de Engano (cape of deceit), this last term being used not infrequently by Spanish mariners.
Where in Winchester is this map displayed? It can be found somewhere in the area shown on the map, as can all the photos I've posted to GWW so far.

Remember that one illustrated map I uploaded a while back? Well, I found out that that was the back to the Cities Service Map series (its cover was torn off so I didn't know that there was a cool cover to it). Here is what the front of those maps look like. I did the eBay thing and found the best quality map that was available: Kansas.
I suggest doing the "All sizes" thing or just click here.
This map goes along with this post, which was an attempt to inventory all the independant shops and businesses in my area of central Austin.
Giant map of NYC in the Queens Museum of Art. I uploaded this full size panorama of downtown Manhattan so my neighbors can have fun finding their own apartment building.
Robert Moses had 'The Panorama of the City of New York' built for the 1964 World's Fair, but it has been updated, and supposedly has every building built before 1992. Originally you flew over it on a simulate helicopter ride. Now there is a ramp that spirals around it from the first to second floor of the museum.
Title: Nova Persiae Armeniae Natoliae et Arabiae [shows Cyprus]
Map Maker: Frederick De Wit
Place / Date: Amsterdam / 1680
Description:
Decorative and highly desireable map of the region bounded by the Saudi Peninsula, Red Sea, Nile River, Cyprus, Asia Minor, the Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean, Armenia, the Caspian Sea, Afganistan and the Indian Ocean, centered on the Persian Gulf. Includes two attractive cartouches, ships at sea and marvelous geographical detail within the map. One of the few available Dutch maps to mention Armenia in the title of the map and one of the most detailed of the region. Gorgeous example.

This is a map of Seoul with some of the places we visited.
Below are my steps to create the map:
1. Using Google Earth, I plotted the location of each attraction.
2. I printed the map and traced over it with white paper and a pencil. I drew in the river and placed an "x" for each attraction.
3. I inked-in the river and drew the landmarks. For all inking, I used a Fine Black Sharpie Pen.
4. Next I lettered each landmark.
5. After erasing all of the pencil marks, I scanned the map and added a couple of elements (Miso, and the Nanta drawing) using Paint. I also added "Han River" as I forgot to letter this by hand.
6. I printed the map onto parchment paper. Once scanned back in to my computer, I e-mailed it to myself so I could complete the editing using my iPad.
7. On my iPad, I added the Torn Brick effect and Rough Edge border.
8. Finally, I added my watermark using the iWatermark app. The watermark is a stone stamp that was created in Korea. The Korean letters phonetically spell my first name, Douglas.
Now, I want 60044. And it is my intention to be out for it on the Wensleydale this weekend.
It's a wee bit of a trek from here. But Windows maps seemingly turns a trek into an epic. This was seriously offered up as an option.

I was astounded by Bill Rankin's map of Chicago's racial and ethnic divides and wanted to see what other cities looked like mapped the same way. To match his map, Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, Orange is Hispanic, Gray is Other, and each dot is 25 people. Data from Census 2000. Base map © OpenStreetMap, CC-BY-SA
