Title: "Map of Manitoba, published by authority of the Provincial Government, March 1893". This very scarce folded map measures approx. 24" x 24" and shows every section (square mile unit) of land in the province. Compared to the Rand McNally map of approximately a decade earlier, the Provincial map shows the province with more or less its modern muncipal organization into Rural Municipalities. Although the main map does not make a point of including the disputed part of Northwestern Ontario, it does contain an inset map (not shown) showing Manitoba's position in the North American continent in which a sizeable region north of the Winnipeg and English Rivers (i.e. not including southerly areas such as Rat Portage/Kenora) and extending several hundred miles into what is now Northwestern Ontario is clearly labelled "Manitoba".
This copy of the map folds and includes a glued-on title page that indicates that it was intended for distribution at the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago, Illinois.
A map I have from roughly 1975 era. Just a quick set of photos - needs cleanup and better scan of at some point!
90,000 trips through New York (right) is pretty much indistinguishable from 30,000 (center), and hardly distinguishable from 5,000 trips (left).
It's a lot faster to plot more trips than to add more control points, but it doesn't get you much. People in the aggregate do the same thing over and over again.
Routes (supersets) and 10,000 control points randomly selected from the Twitter streaming API, August, 2011.

One of the remaining (damaged) Texaco New York map tiles inside the New York State Pavilion. The gravel and a tarp cover over more of the map to protect it from the elements, something started far too late.
During open gate on opening day at the New York State Pavilion in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. I waited three hours on a mile-long line made up of over 2,500 people to get inside the pavilion, which hasn't been open to the public in decades. It's the 50th anniversary of the 1964-65 World's Fair.
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.
Sherry gave me a push-pin world map for Christmas last year. Here is the section for the continental USA.
Yellow pins are for the states I've lived in, some more than once (7; NY, OH, OK, WV, RI, MA, KY). Red pins are for the other states that I've spent some some quality time in. There are also some red pins thrown in for locations in Canada where I have been (BC, ON, QB). Green pins are for the states I have left to visit (EDIT: as of Oct 3, 2009 I have visited MS, so now it's 8; OR, ID, MT, WY, ND, NM, also AK, HI... ).
The yellow flag is for a "favorite destination" (AZ for Sherry). The blue flag is supposed to be for a planned trip - it was San Francisco in April '08.... we just got back from our vacation western coast of Michigan (Aug '08)...
EDIT on 8/17/12 - I will be taking a trip to Alaska, so soon I'll be down to 7 states
Routing 30,000 randomly-chosen trips through the paths suggested by 10,000 randomly-chosen geotags. These are perhaps the most interesting routes between the endpoints of the trips, even if not necessarily the most likely.

An overview look as of August 2020 at my collection of transit timetables, maps, schedules, ride guides, etc. that I've amassed so far. Many of these were picked up while visiting and fanning different systems, and several others were kindly given to me by fellow transit enthusiasts. This series of photos is based loosely by state or providence, but sometime city or region depending on what I actually have.
