Map by Rand McNally. Housed in a card stock cover, with a detailed index booklet, which also includes city enlargements and an extensive guide to hotels and points of interest.
The freedom to roam in nature has diminished for children over years, but I was fortunate to grow up in Auchtertool, a rural village in Fife, so I mapped the extent of my childhood wandering and important sites for me.

I honestly don't know whether this map will HELP . . . or HINDER your attempts to make sense of my large up-load of photos about Das-Marinas ~ within whose boundaries my bungalow lies !
The red circle is 'roughly' the area covered by the municipality of the City-of-Das-Marinas . . .
that circle is about five miles in diameter.
The Old Town ( 'BAYAN' in Tagalog-language ) is shown by the small circle, left, 1-mile across.
The mustard-yellow road, running vertically down the picture, through the old town, is the Emilio-Aguinaldo Highway .... W = Walter-Mart, and H = the Hospital. R, below, = Robinsons.
That highway runs for 20-miles North, off the top of this map, passing through the cities of IMUS, then BACOOR, on its way to Manila Airport . . . then on to the vast THOUSAND SQUARE MILES of METRO-MANILA . . . half-as-big-again as Greater-London, England !!
The other mustard-yellow road, running diagonally across the map, is Congressional Avenue,
which passes right through my village, San-Manuel-II ~ which is opposite Area-1, from the church, to just beyond my bungalow.
If you are still confused, just send me a Flickr-mail !!

Ah My Friends! I'm glad You've decided to stop on by and take a look at My Map of our Glorious State, Pennsylvania! My scouts just finished this version last week and You are the First to see it besides Myself. We once stood as one of the Old Nations greatest States. We had almost 12 million people living within our borders, but after the bombs... We lost 9 million. Our census 4 years ago showed we had 4 million, but we figured after radiation poisoning we lost an additional 1 million. Our largest resources consist of Metal Ores, Coal, Agricultural goods, Horses and Timber. My people pride themselves on a strong work ethic and loyalty to Myself and State. Some call my a Tyrant, and our neighbors to the West (Ohio) Say I will fall as Leader to my people within then Year. I am a Dictator by "standard Governmental beliefs", but I've turned such a negative word into a positive one. I Hope to someday be viewed as a mentor to other States, a template if you would for other Strong leaders like Myself.

Map of the South Caucasus countries (Abkhazia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Nagorny Karabakh, and South Ossetia)
A map taken from the 1919 Ward Lock Guide to London.
Uploaded to mark the 150th anniversary of the Metropolitan Railway and the 80th anniversary of the first publication of Harry Beck's classic "schematic diagram".
Beck's innovation was the show the stations exactly the same distance apart, thereby enlarging the central section for greater clarity and removing the large amounts of empty space shown in this map.
The book itself isn't dated, but the map appears to be dated "2-19". This seems to be confirmed by the fact that the Central Line extension to Ealing Broadway opened on 3 August 1920.
The movement of the "economic centre of gravity" across history.
The centre was calculated by taking the Maddison historical economy dataset and calculate the GDP-weighted average of the country locations (taken from the Nationmaster database). This point is located inside the Earth, so it was projected radially onto the surface and plotted with a Lambert projection.

This is the front of the World Map Sweater I started in 1991. I did not enjoy knitting it and have never been able to make myself finish it. I am going to use this to make a large pillow for my daughter and be done with it!
