Maps from my first visit to London in 2000.
Drawn with felt pen on tracing paper, copic markers to underside of tracing paper then stuck on (crookedly!) to white paper and into a black paper photo album.
Hmmm... I like these maps very much - the use of colour and the 3D components are more successful that most of the maps that I do these days....but back then I had more time for these things ...no that was definitely not the case! I was more careful!! And just for the record I traced these maps.
BTW... I am doing more trip preps than I can or will post....
A potential zone fare system for the Washington Metro.

Giant map of NYC in the Queens Museum of Art. I uploaded this full size panorama of downtown Manhattan so my neighbors can have fun finding their own apartment building.
Robert Moses had 'The Panorama of the City of New York' built for the 1964 World's Fair, but it has been updated, and supposedly has every building built before 1992. Originally you flew over it on a simulate helicopter ride. Now there is a ramp that spirals around it from the first to second floor of the museum.
Frankfurt is a large metro area with a lot of commuters, so it has a fairly substantial public transportation system. Indeed, its probably one of the most comprehensive ones I've used in recent history. The system includes subway (U-bahn), commuter trains (S-bahn), trolleys, buses, regional trains, and the like, all with a common fare system. If anything, I found myself with too many options for getting from one place to another.
What's interesting is that unlike a lot of systems these days, Frankfurt's system is mostly star-shaped: the majority of routes go to or through one location: Hauptbahnhof, which has 24 street level rail platforms, a similar number one level down, several trolley lines out front, and a major U-bahn station. A large number of S-Bahn trains head east from the station below ground in a large tunnel called the CityTunnel, which snakes around downtown and ends up at Lokalbahnhof , a station over the Main in Sachsenhauser.

I was astounded by Bill Rankin's map of Chicago's racial and ethnic divides and wanted to see what other cities looked like mapped the same way. To match his map, Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, Orange is Hispanic, Gray is Other, and each dot is 25 people. Data from Census 2000. Base map © OpenStreetMap, CC-BY-SA
Title: Tabula Asiae III [Black & Capian Sea Region]
Map Maker: Sebastian Munster
Place / Date: Basle / 1542
Description:
Excellent example of Munster's Ptolemaic map of the region between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea extending south to include all of Armenia Maior and part of Armenia Minoris.
Munster's map shows Noahs Arc in the Caspian Sea, believed to have come to rest in a mountain in Armenia according to the map. Shows Armenia Maior, Iberia, Albania, Colchis, Porte Albanie, the Euphratis River, the Tigris, Assyriae, and many other place names in the cradle of civilization. The map is unchanged from the 1540 edition.
Munster's Geographia was a cartographic landmark, including not only Ptolemaic maps, but also a number of landmark modern maps, including the first separate maps of the 4 continents, the first map of England and the earliest obtainable map of Scandinavia. Munster dominated cartographic publication during the mid-16th Century. Munster is generally regarded as one of the three most important map makers of the 16th Century, along with Ortelius and Mercator. Munster was a linguist and mathematician, who initially taught Hebrew in Heidelberg. He issued his first mapping of Germany in 1529, after which he issued a call geographical information about Germany to scholars throughout the country. The response was better than hoped for, and included substantial foreign material, which supplied him with up to date, if not necessarily accurate maps for the issuance of his Geographia in 1540.

This map goes along with this post, which was an attempt to inventory all the independant shops and businesses in my area of central Austin.
This is a map of Seoul with some of the places we visited.
Below are my steps to create the map:
1. Using Google Earth, I plotted the location of each attraction.
2. I printed the map and traced over it with white paper and a pencil. I drew in the river and placed an "x" for each attraction.
3. I inked-in the river and drew the landmarks. For all inking, I used a Fine Black Sharpie Pen.
4. Next I lettered each landmark.
5. After erasing all of the pencil marks, I scanned the map and added a couple of elements (Miso, and the Nanta drawing) using Paint. I also added "Han River" as I forgot to letter this by hand.
6. I printed the map onto parchment paper. Once scanned back in to my computer, I e-mailed it to myself so I could complete the editing using my iPad.
7. On my iPad, I added the Torn Brick effect and Rough Edge border.
8. Finally, I added my watermark using the iWatermark app. The watermark is a stone stamp that was created in Korea. The Korean letters phonetically spell my first name, Douglas.
Victoria (parfois appelé port de Victoria) est la capitale des Seychelles et n'est pas fluctué sur le côté nord-est de Mahé , l'île principale de l'archipel. La ville a d'abord été établie comme étant le siège de la British coloniale gouvernement. En 2009, la population de la région métropolitaine de Victoria (y compris les banlieues) était de 25 000 la population totale du pays de 87 972. Victoria est desservie par l'aéroport international des Seychelles , achevée en 1971.
This was my big summer project this year! A full map of the continental United States all in patchwork and embroidered! You can see more pictures at:
In the Four Corners region, drawings like this are often maps. This is a different cultural area (Wyoming), but I assume that it too is a map of something, or a guide to something.
I have now added the photo of the map sign to the map. I can't remember where this was actually taken so I just plonked it down in the middle somewhere.
