Map Postcards had their own charm, not all that useful for finding directions but often nicely coloured with visual appeal and interest.
Kent has a particularly rich and diverse history.

Folks love to peel away ads and maps on these big boards. This one had so many layers removed, it revealed the original map that was here. Look at all of those extra lines that were never built out! And some of the station names are different, too!
The map was also upside-down for some reason. These images are rotated 180 degrees.
Morioka!

Kitakami River
from the headwaters to the delta
by 八重樫光行
by Teruyuki Yaegashi
published in 1999
A fascinating publication. One side of the paper is Mr. Yaegashi's artistic rendering of the Kitakami River while the other side has a detailed topographic map with photographs of important places and descriptions. By my measurement it is 15 feet 5.5 inches long and 11.5 inches wide!
See the book cover!

This map is a smaller and more detailed scale portion of this map.
This system, built in the fifties, was truly gigantic:
- 56 launching sites arranged into two rings, 170 and 100 kilometers in diameter (marked red);
- 7 supply bases (marked orange);
- 4 close range warning radars forming 50 km ring (marked blue).
(Early warning radar sites, forming 800 km ring, are not shown.)

A knew this butterfly is called "map" in Dutch, but I was surprised it is actually the same in English. The butterfly get his name due to the road like drawings on this wings.

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.

While checking out Google Flu Trends (which is otherwise neat: www.google.org/flutrends/ ) I couldn't help but notice how retarded "poorly-rendered" Michigan looks.
Come on, Google! I know you have satellite pictures of this to prove to yourself it doesn't look as blob-like! :)

Dan W and I, both keen observers of various wayfinding monoliths (like Legible London), noticed this near Iron Works, on the eastern side of the convention center. As far as I could tell, it was unique. Odd.
It's both north-up and facing-up, because this is the south side. The other three didn't have maps on.
