The "Woodcut" map of London, formally titled Civitas Londinum, and often referred to as the "Agas" map of London, is one of the earliest true maps (as opposed to panoramic views, such as those of Anton van den Wyngaerde) of the City of London and its environs. The original map probably dated from the early 1560s, but it survives only in later and slightly modified copies. It was printed from woodcut blocks on eight sheets, and in its present state measures approximately 2 feet 4 inches (71 cm) high by 6 feet (180 cm) wide. (There has been some damage to the blocks, and it was probably originally fractionally larger.)
The Woodcut map is a slightly smaller-scale, cruder and lightly modified copy of the so-called "Copperplate" map, surveyed between 1553 and 1559, which, however, survives only in part. It also bears a close relationship to the map of London included in Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum, published in Cologne and Amsterdam in 1572, although this is on a greatly reduced scale.
The Woodcut map was traditionally attributed to the surveyor and cartographer Ralph Agas, but this attribution is now considered to be erroneous.

I took a satellite image of my old stomping grounds in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from Google Maps and added notes here in Flickr. Cool.
Map showing regions within "Canada West, formerly Upper Canada " 1850. The map is divided in 3 parts: Canada West formerly Upper Canada, part 2 Vicinity of the Falls of Niagara and part 3 The City of Toronto and its environs. In 1849, the County succeeded the District as the division for municipal and judicial purposes in Canada West. That along with recent transportation developments. Composed and published by Thomas Cowperthwaite & Co. in the Clerk Office of the District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
This map can now be found in "Charting Our Past" from the Archives of Ontario.
Google has a neat little application for viewing their maps on your Windows Media enabled mobile phone.
The quality of this photo is a little lacking, and my screen is somewhat better than it appears in this picture, but I'm pleased to say that much of the functionality of the web version of Google Maps is available in the mobile version.
As New Year’s Eve approaches, we are meeting a lot of travellers in the gallery and every voyage needs a good map!
One of our newest into the gallery is a screenprint by Kate and the Ink. The print comes with a needle and thread so you can embroider your very own “X” to mark ...
This is a portion of a map I have drawn for use with a Role-playing game I hope to run some day. It was done using water colours, inks and a technical pen and took ages. While most of it is original some names, places and ideas have been inspired from various media. It took ages but was very enjoyable to do.
