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.
While there are many records of the Western countries, historical maps of the Middle East are very scarce. Thus, it is really difficult to recreate the historical geography of Turkey, Lebanon, the Kurdish regions, Armenia or Iraq, all the more as the populations were speaking various languages. The replacement of the Ottoman script with a Latin alphabet in 1928, the specific Armenian and Georgian alphabets, the various transcriptions of Arabic words and the numerous transliterations of some names (e.g. from Kurdish to Arabic, then to Ottoman Turkish and finally to modern Turkish) makes it quite impossible to locate some places.
Here is a map of the Ottoman Empire realized by Louis Vivien de Saint-Martin and Adolphe Noël des Vergers and published in Paris by Charles Picquet in 1845. Names and borders are legible. Therefore it will be possible to spot the ancient places with their modern equivalents, to search for the small 19th century Kurdish or Armenian autonomies or to examine the border between the Pashalik of Baghdad and Iran.

After assembling the Game Of Thrones Map I got inspired to do another map puzzle, but bigger, so I decided on this classic from Ravensburger.
Unfortunately, this means that Creation Of Adam will have to wait just a bit longer... :o)
The initial sort took just over 5 hours, but I will have to do some fine sorting later, when doing specific sections of the puzzle.
As can be seen here, first small sections I did were various inscriptions around the puzzle, and next are the map rings.

A comparison map (low resolution) I found on-line sometime back. It was posted for a while by Alaska Sea Adventures. Hope they don't mind me using the map or giving them the plug!
I'm uploading scans from 2011 before I do a clean-up on my hard drive.
This is a lovely three-dimensional tourist map of the German town of Rothenburg. The vintage map was entirely in German and featured hunting, birding and walking trail descriptions.

The area roughly represented by the table is here shown outlined in black. The main geographic features are the village of Wolfsdorf (mostly off the table), the town of Goldberg and the road net converging on it, and a large wooded hill called the Flensberg, just to the southeast of the town. Lauriston's V Corps is advancing boldly on Goldberg, expecting no resistance since Yorck's 1st Prussian Corps was last observed withdrawing northwards in some haste.

In my spare time, apart from poking around falling down old buildings, I also make maps. This is one of my better ones.

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

People keep asking me where the Lost City is, so I thought I'd put up a map.
(Or if you prefer - Google Maps)
As far as I'm aware it's still there - I certainly haven't heard anything about it being demolished yet.

It's all a bit different now! Western dock is filled in and flats are built on it, with News International (soon to be gone) where the warehouses were to the north. Tobacco dock is partially filled in, Eastern dock is a park / woodland. Shadwell basin's still there, with houses built around three sides where the warehouses once stood. Regents Canal Dock, now known as Limehouse Basin, is also still there and is used as a marina. Most of the Surrey Docks were filled in, though Greenland Dock survives.
The warehouse number 10, south of Tobacco Dock, is (I think) 21 Wapping Lane and is still there (see my other Docklands photos), but not for long. Ballymore are planning to turn it into a large residential development. The warehouses north of Tobacco Dock were converted into a shopping centre in the 80s, but it never really took off and is almost empty now, bar a single sandwich shop.
