The map I made to paint on the plane. The trail goes up toward Paris, where I took the train for the second half of my vacation. Those sketches come next!

Description: Topographic map zoomed into to the area from the falls to just above the delta.
Another slope map.
Red - staircases
Green - walking and bicycle paths
Gray - alleys and freeways. Freeways are often off grade, which renders the elevation profile invalid. Alleys are often ungraded.
Black - all other roads.
Note: though the map is generally true, there are lots of artifacts.
December 27, 2018 - "The Madaba Map is the oldest extant map of the Holy Land and is dated to the middle of the 6th century AD. It was discovered in the 19th century, during an excavation and reconstruction of a mosaic floor in St George’s Church in Madaba, Jordan. The mosaic map was created according to the Old and New Testaments by Greek monk Salmanos. The map represents biblical sites: Jordan river and mount Nebo in Jordan; Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jericho – on the Western bank of Jordan River in Palestine and Israel, Delta Nile and Sinai desert in Egypt.
Jerusalem is the biggest city on the map. The map depicts some famous Old City structures such as the Damascus Gate, St. Steven’s Gate, the Golden Gate, the gate leading to Mount Zion, the Citadel (Tower of David), the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Cardo Maximus.Jerusalem is the biggest city on the map.

The mosaic Map of Madaba was discovered in 1896 by chance. This discovery drew the city to the attention of scholars worldwide. Nowadays, Saint George’s Church became one of the most visited tourist sites in Jordan. Pilgrims from all around the world come to Madaba to see the original mosaic floor.
Greek - Orthodox St. George's Church is active and used for church services. During the service the mosaic map is covered by carpet." Previous text is from the following website: saintgeorgechurch.blogspot.com/2014/03/mosaic-map-of-mada...
In 1971, I got the nice KPQ FM map. Boasting a far signal reach from high atop Mission Ridge Ski Area, the artistic map also featured a collage of listener reports from the mail.
I was so impressed by the range that I used this map to make up my own Washington State network consisting of two stations. It was make believe.
Since those years, Northwest Public Broadcasting, based in my hometown of Pullman, has one of their stations on Mission Ridge. NWPB has an impressive map of stations including their Mission Ridge location.
While KPQ got reception reports from all corners of it's range, the signal is more boxed in, these days, due to other stations on the same and nearby frequencies. I've never been able to pick it up west of the Cascades.
An interesting fantasy network would be to have transmitters on Orcas Island, near Bellingham, Tiger Mountain near Seattle, Mission Ridge near Wenatchee and Mount Spokane.
These days, stations rely more on the internet to extend their range.
In theory, this map allows visitors to describe their local ramen, or their favorite ramen from a certain locality. I added Okinawa soba. Others added scribbles, graffiti, and random nonsense.
I've been reading A Game of Thrones and started looking at the map in the front of the book. I thought it was so neat that I'd try something along that line.
I've never done any type of cartography before and thought this was rather fun, but rushed. It's actually SUPER hard to put together a well designed map... I had no idea.
I'll probably end up either fleshing this out greatly, or starting on something new with MUCH more detail.
It's very hard to get tiny finger typography on the map so I was using icons to reference cities. We'll see where these ideas take me.
Either way, I've had painter's block again and this was fun to pull me back in.
