Or one of them, at least. This was my dorm room for my sophomore year in college. I'm really into maps.

From the box base:
Pieter van den Keere (c. 1571-c. 1645) was a Flemish engraver, publisher and globe maker who came to England as a Protestant refugee. Settling in Amsterdam in 1593, he continued to work and began engraving a series of miniature county maps for the British Isles Atlas in 1599. His works also include a map of Ireland, urban panoramas of Utrecht, Cologne, Amsterdam and Paris, as well as a collection of world maps Van den Keere's work here was actually based on a1594 world map by Petrus Plancius (1552-1622). Plancius was a notable figure of the Netherlandish school of cartography and geography in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
After the fiasco of the 2K Jumbo puzzle with missing pieces, this made a pleasant remedy. Edges and top and bottom colourful scenes were completed first, followed by the yellow circular lines. That left the two maps themselves to assemble. Finished yesterday evening.
After completion I did a double-check to make sure we'd not done this one before (they all look the same to me!). Sure enough, we've made this image although not this particular version. In my wooden puzzle stash I have a Nautilus purchased last year through eBay...
Edited New Horizons map of Pluto.

Original caption: On July 14, 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft made its historic flight through the Pluto system. This detailed, high-quality global mosaic of Pluto was assembled from nearly all of the highest-resolution images obtained by the Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) and the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) on New Horizons.
The mosaic is the most detailed and comprehensive global view yet of Pluto’s surface using New Horizons data. It includes topography data of the hemisphere visible to New Horizons during the spacecraft’s closest approach. The topography is derived from digital stereo-image mapping tools that measure the parallax – or the difference in the apparent relative positions – of features on the surface obtained at different viewing angles during the encounter. Scientists use these parallax displacements of high and low terrain to estimate landform heights.
The global mosaic has been overlain with transparent, colorized topography data wherever on the surface stereo data is available. Terrain south of about 30°S was in darkness leading up to and during the flyby, so is shown in black. Examples of large-scale topographic features on Pluto include the vast expanse of very flat, low-elevation nitrogen ice plains of Sputnik Planitia ("P") – note that all feature names in the Pluto system are informal – and, on the eastern edge of the encounter hemisphere, the aligned, high-elevation ridges of Tartarus Dorsa ("T") that host the enigmatic bladed terrain, mountains, possible cryovolcanos, canyons, craters and more.
Mosaics and topography maps are also available in equirectangular projection at an equatorial pixel scale of 300 meters (985 feet) per pixel, and in uncompressed jpeg format as well as in cube format; the latter can be read using the USGS ISIS Planetary Image Processing Software.
All maps were producing using radii of 1188.3 kilometers/738.3 miles for Pluto and 606 kilometers/376.6 miles for Charon. The JPEG of the grayscale Digital Elevation Maps (DEMs) for Pluto display an elevation scale stretch of -3 (black) to +4 (white).
This is the mind-map that outlines the presentation that Renee Alexander, Chris Noble and I gave at BlogWorld 2010
Plenty of room on the inside, including a compartment for up to a 100 oz hydration reservoir such as this Camelbak.

Position: 39.30N 52.34W
Weather: Clear, occasional rain, occasional cloud
Wind: W 15 to 19 knots
Heave: 2 m
We are in the high pressure system, but the weather is not stable.
The tide movement is affecting to our speed over the ground reads over 7 knots on GPS.
At this point, we still have west wind, thus we are sure that it was a good decision to go down south.
The fist storm that we had was showed on the weather map light blue and the size was much smaller than the one we had in winter, thus we thought it wouldn't be so bad. However, the wave was hard and it went over 5 m occasionally. This might be a character of the low pressure on the Atlantic.
This time we decided to go down south to avoid the strong wind according to the weather map. We will mark the longest Day run today!

The infamous house on the hill looms over Los Angeles like an old friend, long forgotten to time and sits empty waiting for anyone to fully understand the stories that the walls have witnessed first hand.
It was here Dr. Harold Perelson on the eve of December 6th, 1959 had gone mad, killing his wife with the intent of killing their three children as well. When the eldest daughter escaped and got help, Dr. Perelson had taken his life and let the house and its tragedies be lost to history.
Despite the house being handed over to a woman, and later her son, the house was left as a time capsule with no one daring to live within those walls since the murder all those decades ago. For the first time, the time capsule has been open and welcomed its first visitors outside of its owner to explore the ballroom on the top floor and old fashioned bar, the four master bedrooms, gorgeous staircase, and the evidence of life left behind.
Muni is testing an animated map showing the position of all the trains in the entire system.
This replaces a feed from Central Control that was hard to read, but had one advantage in showing whether trains were one or two-car.
What I really need that's not shown here are arrival times. Being able to see N-Judah's bunched up in the avenues doesn't tell me when the next one will arrive. And without any landmarks I can't use this to find a stop unless it's a station or at a line's outer terminal.
Like most of Muni the only directions given are Inbound and Outbound. One of the most common questions riders ask is which way is downtown, but rather than just say "downtown" riders are expected to learn Muni terminology.
I'm not actually at that location lol very near though :)
I'm loving this application. I never installed it on my Pearl. Was too slow & would never attempt that haha
Day 10 of my 30 days of watches is a side scrolling world map based on NASA's topo map. The current "noon" is highlighted under the yellow sun, so the map makes one rotation per day. The local time is displayed around the tropic of Capricorn. When the button is pressed the world spins to display the map.
