This is my map of South America. I have often told people (jokingly) that I don't believe in Brazil. I mean, I've never seen it.
The library does not have this map in its collection. We took a photo of it at the Westerly Town Hall. This map is probably dated around 1873.

I have so many connections on LinkedIn it became almost unusable and started becoming a repository of business contacts. This visualization, though mesmerizing to me at first and to others as well, is interesting though the groups are spread around time, location, profession and education.
The top and left is more related to my design expertise, the lower right is more my personal life.
Also the edges are filled with people I barely know. Then again in the center it is often the same.
This is from The San Francisco Bay Area: A Metropolis in Perspective, which suggests, but does not quite say, that it is Olmsted's original plan for Golden Gate Park.
More interesting to me is that the base map is the 1859 Coast Survey map with the street grid extended beyond what streets existed in 1859, and yet the extended grid is not quite today's actual street system. In particular, here the Mission streets extend east into the Potrero without jogging, even though the Potrero subdivision map of 1864 acknowledges the jog, which apparently already existed by 1861. Neither does it correspond to the 1854 Official Map where the two grids are completely unified. Was this an attempt to reconcile the grids by making the corners of the blocks not quite square, or a drafting mistake?
I created this map using any information that I could find on this mall. This mall had at least two floors of retail, and appeared to have a third level that was home to offices.
As of December 2011, these were the projections for Streetcar frequency by fall 2012. They were premised on a $9.4 million operating budget for Streetcar in FY 2013, much of which depended on large budget increases from TriMet and PBOT.

I live at about 8 o'clock on this map. If you look at the third ring (the big, dark orange circle), then at about 8, find the green spot. That's the country club. I live about two streets from that.

NOTICE
All these pictures are taken shortly before the earthquake in April 2015!
Bungamati suffered considerable damage to the 7.8R earthquake that hit on April 25th 2015 and the aftershocks that followed. 80% of the villagers lost their homes to the quake. Many depend on subsistence agriculture. Rebuilding homes for them is going to be a near to impossible task.
I decided to upload all my pictures of Bungamati and Khokana as a documentary of this peaceful villages.
_______________________________
Bungamati, Newar Bunga, lies in Karyabinayak Municipality in Lalitpur District, Nepal. Bungamati is a Newar village on a spur of land overlooking the Bagmati River
The first stele of the Licchavi king Amshuverma was found in Bungamati and dated to 605. It contains the earliest mention of the Kailashkut Bhawan palace. The stele further shows that Bungamati had already been a famous village for agriculture, livestock and fishing.
NAMES
During the Licchavi Kingdom, the town was called Bugayumi. During the Malla period, it was called Bungapattan.
TEMPLE
Bungamati is the hometown of the deity Machhindranath, regarded as the patron of the valley and his large shikhara-style temple in the center of the village square is his home for six months of the year; he spends the rest of his time in Patan. The process of moving him back and forth between Patan and Bungamati is one of the most important annual festivals in the valley.
The chowrangi around the temple is one of the most beautiful in the valley - here one can see the heart of a functioning Newar town. The Karya Binayak Temple, one of the most important temples in Nepal, is dedicated to Ganesha. The view is spectacular from the temple, which is surrounded by trees and large bamboo and overlooks the Bagmati valley to the foothills.
MACHHINDRANATH TEMPLE
The central ritual focus of Bungamati is the Temple of Machhindranath. To the villagers, Machhindranath is known by the name “Bungadeya”; the name is derived either after the village founded at the spot where Bhairav howled “bu” (birthplace), or from the word “Bungaa:” meaning “watering place” or “spring” like the explanation of the name of the village and several residents in Bungamati offer the second derivation. Bungadeya has many important mythological, historical and contemporary ritual associations with water. Bungadeya being a primordial rain god, who was later identified with the benevolent Aryavalokiteshvara. Machhindranath is also known by the name of “Karunamaya” meaning an embodiment of love and kindness like a mother figure. While Bungamati Newa people refer to Machhindranath as Bungadeya, Newas from other parts of the valley use the name Karunamaya to refer to Machhindranath. The god of Bungamati and Patan is also identified as Raktapadmapani Lokeshvara and Aryavalokiteshvara.
The another important part of historical importance in Bungamati is the living goddess, Kumari. Generally people only know three Kumaris (in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur), but there is also one in Bungamati.
NEPAL EARTHQUAKE IN APRIL 2015
