A map of my childhood neighborhood in Boulder, CO. We moved away in 1986, when I was only 6 years old, so I don't remember it very well. It does match what I do remember, though.
Inspired by mathowie's childhood.
Newsflash!:
Google today reveals that the Camden Town tube station has been demolished! Google maps employs sophisticated algorithms to analyse web patterns and user behaviour, allowing them to update their maps of the area to reflect reality before the news gets out on any other channels.
Residents and businesses in around Camden are today in a state of denial about the reality of the situation, as this busy transport hub has been removed. The lack of a station at this location will also mean that passengers wishing to to travel to different branches of the northern line will no longer be able to change. Choose your train wisely.
When asked to explain, a TfL spokesman also tried to deny that changes to London transport network had taken place. But there can be no cover-up of this. The truth is right there on google maps!
----
But seriously...
This a pretty serious navigational problem. Do you link to google maps when you email a friend with directions? Are you using google maps on your website? If you do this in the Camden area you may not be being as helpful as you thought you were. Maybe it's time to use a better map, the open licensed map from the London-born not-for-profit OpenStreetMap.

Ski maps for Lutsen, Minnesota. Our vacation location was located at the Gondola Base Area on Eagle Mountain, so you can see that we had spectacular views from our condo windows. My wife and I did manage to walk to the bottom of the valley (and, oh, puff, puff) back up again. I just wanted to take photos of the mountains from different angles.
NOTICE
All these pictures are taken shortly before the earthquake in April 2015!
Bungamati suffered considerable damage to the 7.8R earthquake that hit on April 25th 2015 and the aftershocks that followed. 80% of the villagers lost their homes to the quake. Many depend on subsistence agriculture. Rebuilding homes for them is going to be a near to impossible task.
I decided to upload all my pictures of Bungamati and Khokana as a documentary of this peaceful villages.
_______________________________
Bungamati, Newar Bunga, lies in Karyabinayak Municipality in Lalitpur District, Nepal. Bungamati is a Newar village on a spur of land overlooking the Bagmati River
The first stele of the Licchavi king Amshuverma was found in Bungamati and dated to 605. It contains the earliest mention of the Kailashkut Bhawan palace. The stele further shows that Bungamati had already been a famous village for agriculture, livestock and fishing.
NAMES
During the Licchavi Kingdom, the town was called Bugayumi. During the Malla period, it was called Bungapattan.
TEMPLE
Bungamati is the hometown of the deity Machhindranath, regarded as the patron of the valley and his large shikhara-style temple in the center of the village square is his home for six months of the year; he spends the rest of his time in Patan. The process of moving him back and forth between Patan and Bungamati is one of the most important annual festivals in the valley.
The chowrangi around the temple is one of the most beautiful in the valley - here one can see the heart of a functioning Newar town. The Karya Binayak Temple, one of the most important temples in Nepal, is dedicated to Ganesha. The view is spectacular from the temple, which is surrounded by trees and large bamboo and overlooks the Bagmati valley to the foothills.
MACHHINDRANATH TEMPLE
The central ritual focus of Bungamati is the Temple of Machhindranath. To the villagers, Machhindranath is known by the name “Bungadeya”; the name is derived either after the village founded at the spot where Bhairav howled “bu” (birthplace), or from the word “Bungaa:” meaning “watering place” or “spring” like the explanation of the name of the village and several residents in Bungamati offer the second derivation. Bungadeya has many important mythological, historical and contemporary ritual associations with water. Bungadeya being a primordial rain god, who was later identified with the benevolent Aryavalokiteshvara. Machhindranath is also known by the name of “Karunamaya” meaning an embodiment of love and kindness like a mother figure. While Bungamati Newa people refer to Machhindranath as Bungadeya, Newas from other parts of the valley use the name Karunamaya to refer to Machhindranath. The god of Bungamati and Patan is also identified as Raktapadmapani Lokeshvara and Aryavalokiteshvara.
The another important part of historical importance in Bungamati is the living goddess, Kumari. Generally people only know three Kumaris (in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur), but there is also one in Bungamati.
NEPAL EARTHQUAKE IN APRIL 2015
After the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, the city saw a massive destruction as most of its houses were made up of traditional mud and brick elements. Sujan Chitrakar an artist and art activist led a reconstruction program for Bungamati, after the Earthquake entitled Rebuilding Bungamati.

I went a bit out of my way to walk to the Cincinnati Art Museum. It's easy to break six miles when you get lost in a city park and are trying to navigate a small residential "mountain"!
This map, on a larger scale, shows the individual streets in Bradford. It was still a small place with fields almost to the centre of town. The population the previous year was 6393. Manningham Lane has been built and the Bradford Canal with its wharves near the Parish Church is now shown

The subway is vast, cheap, efficient and easy to navigate. It's also extremely packed -- more than New York's.

As opposed to the previous image, this map uses a more brute force method - downloading the geocoordinates of every geotagged image found in Bath. These are then summed into a grid, and a colour contour plot made.
It is a bit unkind to the Flickr servers, but only a bit. Trying to do Bath the same way as the Barcelona map just results in a blob, because there aren't enough 'woeid' neighbourhoods.
Made using Python, MatplotLib, the FlickrAPI, and Openstreemap.
