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.
Toodle pip. Got a boat to be on...

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.
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.

I am reposting this map from the University of Texas so I can comment on it, because every time I look at it I see something new that's weird about it.
It is supposedly from 1913, but it looks like the street map must be earlier since the Civic Center is still in the pre-1906 configuration and street names like Ridley and Kate persist.
Montgomery Street continues straight south to 16th and Connecticut!
16th Street continues west over Corona Heights to connect to Irving!
18th Street also makes it as far west as Stanyan.
The "Right of Way for the Southern and Western Pacific Railroad" runs across Candlestick Point and into the bay, like a prototype for the Hunters Point Freeway.
Market Street continues southwest over the hills and includes what is now Sloat.
Army (Cesar Chavez) is called New Market in Noe Valley.
The Bayview/Hunter's Point streets all have different names.
The Mission grid extending west to Fowler and south to 34th Street, and the Lake Merced grid, are contrary to reality too, but those aren't unique to this map.

I have now added the photo of the map sign to the map. I can't remember where this was actually taken so I just plonked it down in the middle somewhere.

In this version, the outer reaches of the system are postponed to the future for cost reduction and the Mission/I-280 route is considered.
I've uploaded the image on the right a few times already. That image is of my map of the current Kmart stores in Florida, which currently stands at a total of 41 stores. For the first part of the upcoming AFB on flickr photoseries, we're going to be taking a look at the most recent Florida Kmart casualty - the closing of the West Palm Beach Kmart. The closing of the West Palm Kmart began on May 20, 2016, and that store's closing should be entering it's final days by now, if it hasn't closed for good already. I visited the West Palm Kmart on May 18, 2016, two days before the closure began. For the record, I had no idea the store was going to close when I made the trip down there. The timing was a complete coincidence. However during my visit there were a few signs of an upcoming closure in the works, which I will discuss in more detail as I get into those photos.
As I was looking for some information on Kmart not too long ago, I stumbled upon a list of licensing data from the State of Florida from 1996. Their list included information on the locations of every Kmart in the state in that year. So using that data, and filling in a few gaps with some other stores I knew of that closed prior to 1996, I complied a list and map of every Kmart (that I know of) to have existed in Florida over the years. You can see that map on the left. According to my count, there have been at least 184 Kmart stores to have operated in Florida over the years (that count includes original stores and their replacements). As of today, over three quarters of the Kmarts to have operated in Florida have since closed. However, I think the comparison between the two maps speaks the loudest over any statistical figures.
If you would like to view an interactive version of the map of all Kmarts to have operated in Florida, please click here. To view an interactive version of the map of current Kmart stores in Florida, please click here.
Please comment below if those links don't work or if you know of a former Kmart location that I may have missed.
