When U.S. Army troops under General Sherman occupied Savannah in December, 1864 the officers drew several maps of the city on the walls of their barracks. They were drawn with pencils. The barracks is now a restaurant and this is the only one of those maps that survives.
I came across many maps but I think this one is the most detailed version. Will be very useful for people who wants to travel to Tokyo!
While exploring my archive I've stumbled on this map of Amman, it was published by "International Media Services", as you see their credentials at the map footer.
It's really a strange thing to find! I don't recall how it came into my archive.. it's like seeing a visualised memory directly in my hands. Anway, the map is really interesting, it shows you the brands, shops, venues and landmarks of Amman two decades ago, I'm sure many of us still remembering few parts of this map, the map of a vivid city who changed a lot.
The map, obviously, was drawn by hand, the artist who done that used some weird orientations, so you find Rainbow street is west of Al-Husseini Mosque and they share the same horizontal level, then you keep going west until you reach Abdoun, a few steps after Abdoun you find yourself in the Queen Alia Airport! Funny..
However, the artist made a good effort to draw the building's facade, I was impressed to see some iconic buildings of Amman drawn in a nice way, it seems like someone did a big research for photos and logos, and delivered them to the artist's hands.
Many brands in this map have been extinct, and many are still surviving, but it still Amman that we love!
this is a map i drew for my wedding in august-- it's for out of town people, so they know how to get where they need to go!
This schematic map shows the location of architectural sites on the Mandu plateau. It is based on the map inside the Archaeological Survey of India's "Mandu" brochure, but corrects some errors and clarifies locations. You'll need to use this schematic map in conjunction with a to-scale Mandu map, since I haven't given distances.
I have left out the roads, paths and monuments that I did not visit, but the "main" ones are here. For example, the road from Neelkanth Palace to Songarh (and beyond) is missing, as are roads to various gates around the edge of the plateau. The chowkidar at Lal Bangla (or Lal Bungalow) said that there was a path leading from there north-eastwards towards the "Sat Sau Sidhi" fortification, which would have been fun to visit.

The Mitchell Map is a map made by John Mitchell (1711–1768), which was reprinted several times during the second half of the 18th century. The Mitchell Map was used as a primary map source during the Treaty of Paris for defining the boundaries of the newly independent United States. The map remained important for resolving border disputes between the United States and Canada as recently as the 1980s dispute over the Gulf of Maine fisheries The Mitchell Map is the most comprehensive map of eastern North America made during the colonial era. Its size is about 6.5 feet (2.0 m) wide by 4.5 feet (1.4 m) high. This is a cropped section showing what is now Michigan.
That's a Europe map that I have on my bedroom's wall. I put a thumbtack in every city I've been. I've added Rome, Wroclaw, Birmingham, Brighton and Poznan now :D
The major parks are quite nice. Regent's Park is best during late spring/summer. The London Zoo is also there, but it's quite small and expensive and not really special.
