The "Woodcut" map of London, formally titled Civitas Londinum, and often referred to as the "Agas" map of London, is one of the earliest true maps (as opposed to panoramic views, such as those of Anton van den Wyngaerde) of the City of London and its environs. The original map probably dated from the early 1560s, but it survives only in later and slightly modified copies. It was printed from woodcut blocks on eight sheets, and in its present state measures approximately 2 feet 4 inches (71 cm) high by 6 feet (180 cm) wide. (There has been some damage to the blocks, and it was probably originally fractionally larger.)
The Woodcut map is a slightly smaller-scale, cruder and lightly modified copy of the so-called "Copperplate" map, surveyed between 1553 and 1559, which, however, survives only in part. It also bears a close relationship to the map of London included in Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum, published in Cologne and Amsterdam in 1572, although this is on a greatly reduced scale.
The Woodcut map was traditionally attributed to the surveyor and cartographer Ralph Agas, but this attribution is now considered to be erroneous.
In the early 1940s the village of Derwent in Derbyshire was demolished to make way for Ladybower Reservoir. I have combined a 1924 map of the village with an aerial photo taken from Google Maps to show where the village lay in relation to the current landscape. I wasn't sure of the best way to display it, so this photo has a bit more map and a bit less photo!

A Map, for a workshop last week. Mapping of oneself as a designer. I kind of decided to do the mapping with emphasis on the playing around with graphic layouting and the form of the map. A lot of glue-stick went in to this one as I did it all by hand on a A2-sheet of paper. It was a nice sunday-fun.
Sometimes google maps gets things wrong. Nothing important obviously, but if you take a look at this bit of the map.... Look at the little details... Squint your eyes and concentrate now...
Vauxhall station is on completely the wrong side of the river! (This was since fixed but only after several months of wrongness)
Obviously that's a pretty serious navigational problem. Do you link to google maps when you email a friend with directions? Are you using google maps on your website? If you do this in the Vauxhall or Pimlico area you may not be being as helpful as you thought you were. Maybe it's time to use a better map, the open licensed map from the London-born not-for-profit OpenStreetMap.
