This is a map I designed for my lil' sis' birthday. We've spent Thursday nights this summer, drinking coffee, eating pie and watching both seasons of Twin Peaks, the wackiest show ever.
It's cobbled together from screen shots and David Lynch's original map, which you can see here:
The state of Wisconsin was created in 1848 with 28 counties and a population of around 300,000. Today there are 72 counties and the population is 5,686,986.
This map can be viewed in more detail at the UWM Libraries Digital Collections:
Interstate 380 would have extended from the coast to the Bayfront Freeway. The Millbrae Spur would have run along the Junipero Serra Boulevard right of way from Interstate 280 to Millbrae.

I have been doing some more genealogy recently, and having had some success, I decided to put some of the data I have gleaned from the UK Censuses together on a map. Each of the points is one of my direct ancestors, at different times, all the way back to 1680! I was born in Birmingham, and it's cool to see my own lineage coverging graphically. Differently coloured flags represent different generations (blue = grandparents, brown = great-gp, green = gg-gp, yellow = ggg-gp, pink = gggg-gp etc).
To make this, I used the nifty new (beta) "Web 2.0" site, Map Builder. It lets you do a 'mashup' of the standard Google Maps system but with points of interest and other information that you specify. A Google Maps API Key is required, but this was otherwise simple to do.
The Battle of Messines during the First World War was a prelude to the much larger Third Battle of Ypres − better known as Passchendaele − which began on 31 July 1917.
In contrast to the eventual disaster at Passchendaele, the carefully prepared attack on Messines was a striking success. At 3.10 a.m. on 7 June, huge mines that had been placed under the German lines by hard-working tunnellers exploded. Almost immediately, New Zealand troops of the 2nd and 3rd (Rifle) Brigades left their trenches and advanced towards the ridge in front of them, on which lay the ruins of Messines village. Australian and British troops moved forward on their flanks.
The New Zealanders paid a heavy price for success: by the time the New Zealand Division was withdrawn on 9 June, it had suffered 3700 casualties, 700 of them fatal.

Years after I started the flickr photo group Things Not Made in China, I finally come around to make a photo for the Group Icon!
The globe itself was made in the USA.
This close-up of the 1978 Washington state highway map shows the Mount St. Helens area, and the highway network that existed before the 1980 eruption. Of note is how Highway 504 extended east to Spirit Lake near Coes Dam, then turned south for what the 1969 map listed as 4 miles to the east side of Mount St. Helens.
Nowadays global warming is one the urgent problems that our society need to deal with, for our wealth and for the future’s. This project focuses on coastal systems and low-lying areas because they are projected to be exposed to increasing risks (i.e. erosion, floods) and their effects will be exacerbated by rising human-induced pressures on the environment. First, we gathered data about the present situation and how could be dangerous the future one, according to the four possible scenarios provided by the Fourth Assessment Report of IPCC. Then we searched for the major causes related
to the damage of coasts and lands, and we figured out that the huge increase of greenhouse gases during last century is the main reason why
temperature suddenly rose, causing thereby the slowly shattering of the world how we know it.
We collected all informations in the artefact below, showing how the ‘machinery’ of climate change works from the point of view of coastal
systems, how coasts react to environmental changes and how these changes affect human living. To give an existing example of what climate change
has led and will lead to us, we provided data from disastrous consequences caused by Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans’ coasts in 2005.
Therefore, we also focused on North America pollution’s data.
In conclusion, we gathered all the “advices for the future” and put them in a “reaction” area. This has a great importance because it shows how
population and governments should behave to slow down this serious situation, that is to ACT with social sustainable awereness and to promote
laws in aid of it.
All of this in order to avoid the “coulda, woulda, shoulda” statement, ever.
That’s the way we want it to be.

i was at the bus terminal when i saw this route map for the buses done in the style of the london underground map so the next logical step is....

My first attempt at a clear graphic design map of Amtrak's services to all points north and east of New York City, current as of 2009. Not to scale, but I try to walk the line between clear abstract route map and adherence to geography following the "classic subway map" designs. I've included brief information about which potential major connections are possible, schedule-wise, and which aren't; and I've included two non-Amtrak services, the Lake Champlain ferry and the MBTA BOS-BON connection.
First Day of my week in Paris with Eza.
I can't tell you how great it was to have a week dedicated to sketching with a freind who is like my 2nd sister, who also loves sketching, also studied architecture, also loves walking heaps etc etc. The only big difference is that she does not drink tea or coffee - so not many morning and afternoon tea sketches in this sketchbook. But I am not complaining as it gave us more time to sketch Paris buildings.
Every we went back to our B&B room and drew maps and touched up our sketches - tiring work!
BTW the flower in the right corner was drawn by a waiter for me!
