Madison Mapes, Student Admissions Ambassadors, at the Booth Library quad on the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois on August 15, 2023. (Jay Grabiec)
Glorious old map from 1877. It was enormous, several feet wide and maybe five or six feet long -- encased in a plastic sheath to protect it. I wish I could've scanned the whole thing and framed it, for the exquisite fonts alone.
(This is not the map I'll be using when I tweak some streets for BONESHAKER. This is just something that I found amazingly beautiful.)
