from wikipedia: The Hanseatic League (also known as the Hansa) was an alliance of trading cities and their guilds that established and maintained a trade monopoly along the coast of Northern Europe, from the Baltic to the North Sea and inland, during the Late Middle Ages and Early modern period (c.13th–17th centuries). The Hanseatic cities had their own law system and furnished their own protection and mutual aid.

Out of all the maps I bought recently, this one seems the most fragile, so I haven't looked at it as much. It does have Texaco locations posted on the map, but it lists only locations within 1/4 mile of a major non-toll highway, so I wonder if there were any more in the state. This one also shows a much more detailed map of the World's Fair than the Sunoco map and includes illustrations of "the world's largest road map" exhibit at the 1964 World's Fair.
Here are some more maps and map images that I figured I would share to go along with the ones I posted before. I figured I would do these as a mass upload then go back to the more typical retail pictures I post.
The full road maps were way too large to fit into the scanner and I didn't want to risk damaging the maps so I mostly copied covers, advertisements, and certain city maps. I do want to figure out a decent way to photograph the full maps without harming them. All of these ones are larger than the Ohio Turnpike Map I posted before.

Schmirntal day walk - 13km with 300m ascent, 500m descent, 1650m max altitude
9.15am private minibus up the Wipptal following the line of the Brenner Railway to the Schmirntal, on the opposite side of the main valley from yesterday’s location, the Obernbergtal.
An easy walk along forest tracks with glimpses out to the mountains and avalanche protection fences above the village of Schmirn, and on through the forest to Toldern via another chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
In Toldern we visited a tiny farm, buying cheese, sausage and elderberry liqueur and seeing the six Tyrolean Grey cows snug in their winter stalls before heading to Gasthof Olpererblick for an early lunch. My choice of apricot cake proved a good one.
A short hop on the bus took us up to the hamlet of Madern for a stroll up towards Kasern before returning along the road and through the avalanche protection tunnel to Toldern where we took the minibus back to Trins for tea, cake and dinner - and planning for tomorrow’s free day.

Jasper Johns. (American, born 1930). Map. 1961. Oil on canvas, 6' 6" x 10' 3 1/8" (198.2 x 314.7 cm). Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Scull. © 2008 Jasper Johns / Licensed by VAGA, New York
Reflecting on his choice of easily recognizable images, Johns said that he was interested in "the idea of knowing an image rather than just seeing it out of the corner of your eye." The map of the United States, in its ubiquity and iconicity, is "seen and not looked at, not examined." Preserving the overall proportions of the country and the shape of its states, Johns's energetic application of paint
subverts the conventions of cartography, as do the stenciled names of states, such as Colorado, which is repeated in several locations. Map invites close inspection because its content is both familiar and imaginary.
A map of London and environs, dated 1852. This area is now part of Greater London. At the time, it comprised the City of London, City of Westminster, and parts of the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, and Kent.
The built-up area in 1852 was not much greater than what is now called Central London, with part of the East End. There was not much development west of Mayfair, which had many of the aristocratic mansions.
One feature of the map is the railroad lines entering London. Four of the main stations had already been built. One feature of the map is the railroad lines entering London. Four of the main stations had already been built. Euston was first built in 1837, and rebuilt in something like its present form in 1849. Paddington was opened in 1838, and was rebuilt in 1854. Waterloo was opened in 1848, and took its present form in 1922. Kings Cross was opened in 1852.
Other important stations which had not yet been built were Victoria (1860), Charing Cross (1864), St. Pancras (1868), and Liverpool Street (1874). Other stations are on the map, but I presume that they have since disappeared.
The map was made by George Cox, and published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. It seems appropriate to geotag it with St. Paul's Cathedral.
