344/366 - 2008
Every time I have an old map sprawled out across my desk, I feel compelled to take a photograph of it. This is the third or fourth map that has made it to my 366 set, which seems like a lot... but given the amount of interesting maps that I see, is not really that bad.

(1929) This map shows the early development of the airfield. By 1941 the airport would encompass the entire square mile. By the late 1950's and with the advent of early jets the entire field was too small. The land around the airport was completely residential and commercial, so by the early 60's most airlines had migrated north to O'Hare Field.

Map of Tuscany showing (among other cities) Pisa, Livorno, Lucca, Pistoia, San Gimignano, Siena and Florence. The map is painted on a wall in the small town San Miniato. And, let's be honest, they kinda exaggerated the size of their own town :-)
NL:
Kaart van Toscane met daarop (onder andere) de steden Pisa, Livorno, Lucca, Pistoia, San Gimignano, Siena en Florence. De kaart is op een oude muur geschilderd in het plaatsje San Miniatio. En, laten we eerlijk zijn, de inwoners van San Miniatio hebben de grootte van hun eigen stadje lichtelijk overdreven :-)
For those of you who want to know where I took this shot; check it out in Street View!
In this Ptolemaic world map it is fascinating to follow the known world by looking at its varying specificity and accuracy. Europe is well known, as are parts of Asia and northern Africa, but much of everything else is a cipher. I'm fascinated, for example, that the Indian Ocean was deemed a land-locked sea.

While exploring my archive I've stumbled on this map of Amman, it was published by "International Media Services", as you see their credentials at the map footer.
It's really a strange thing to find! I don't recall how it came into my archive.. it's like seeing a visualised memory directly in my hands. Anway, the map is really interesting, it shows you the brands, shops, venues and landmarks of Amman two decades ago, I'm sure many of us still remembering few parts of this map, the map of a vivid city who changed a lot.
The map, obviously, was drawn by hand, the artist who done that used some weird orientations, so you find Rainbow street is west of Al-Husseini Mosque and they share the same horizontal level, then you keep going west until you reach Abdoun, a few steps after Abdoun you find yourself in the Queen Alia Airport! Funny..
However, the artist made a good effort to draw the building's facade, I was impressed to see some iconic buildings of Amman drawn in a nice way, it seems like someone did a big research for photos and logos, and delivered them to the artist's hands.
Many brands in this map have been extinct, and many are still surviving, but it still Amman that we love!
This was a Butler site back in the mid 1990s, see below. Whether or not it then moved to the Power brand before becoming a Scottish Fuels site I don't know but it has been branded as we see here since the start of Streetview. To be honest I'm not sure they even still sell petrol, the price board offers no clues in terms of regular prices but perhaps does in that what's on it makes no sense - unless one were to add a one in front and go back a year or two. Certainly they were still selling fuel from here in 2016, the most recent Streetview shot.

Vintage map of Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan.
I bought a packet of 1960s tourist ephemera on eBay about a year ago. The graphics and maps are awesome. The text for almost everything is written in Japanese. Most of the items concern sites you can visit on Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan.

I incorrectly labeled this 1961 but SWABloGuy pointed out my error.

Pratt Connector trail map from the Forest Service contract document.
Update 6 years later - This trail has been built and has been in use for several years now. It's a great walk and provides reasonably easy access to the Pratt Valley.
The USGS GNIS placename database was used to make this map. Any stream whose name ends in "Branch" gets a purple dot, any whose name ends in "Run" gets a green dot, and any whose name ends in "Brook" gets an orange dot. Stream names that end with other terms, like "River" or "Bayou" are not shown.
This map shows a strong geographic pattern in the use of these stream terms. "Brook" occurs mostly in New England and New York. "Run" is confined mainly to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and northern West Virginia. "Branch" is common in the South, including Missouri. Indiana, Maryland and Appalachian Virginia use both "Branch" and "Run". New Jersey uses all three terms. There are other curious patterns, such as a cluster of "Branches" in southwest Wisconsin and "Brooks" in Minnesota. All three terms are rare in the West.
