Significance can get lost over time.
For some the "Gunfight at the O.K. corral" was about something, something Wyatt Earp, something Doc Holliday. Who knows...
But back in the 60's a museum put out an info-graphic that anchors the event in facts. With a little study it comes out that this was the "Wild" lawless West finally being confronted by the rule of law with officers to use it.
It's not just some romanticized cowboy thing, it was a culture clash.

Love the presentation for this 1851 Tallis of West Africa, but also a clear route to Timbuctoo

For most of the #Petrofuture maps of North America, I downloaded the base from the Rumsey Map Center. They got their maps from an old Shell atlas.

I just found that same book.

The binding is loose-leaf style, so I can pull a map out, scan it, and put it back in. Practically mint, smells like basement.

Can't help but celebrate great work. Riddiford's map for Britain that was prolifically published by National Geographic Society. It's still accessible and abundant and a prime example of 20th century decorative cartography. (And they are CHEAP on ebay!)

Coming soon, "Silicon Valley & Tech Regions".

It's a topic we've found fascinating for years, not just in its mapping, but in the phenomena itself. We've heard Silicon Valley described as a example of "emergence" where components come together and in the right circumstances, at the right time, wild growth, interaction & change occur.

One of my favorite #Petrofuture maps….The Mississippi River becomes a vast inland sea reaching up to Memphis. 
Of course New Orleans is gone. I mean, c’mon.

Went back to Henderson to finalize the updates. I think i updated all i could with out starting to assume details. Also some mappers suggested straightening out the roads, so i did that across the entire town.

As a side note, bing was working on JOSM for a minute and then stopped again.

So, wanna learn more about this silly thing I’ve doing for fun recently? Come to my site and read about Funtography https://bit.ly/mh-maps #maps

Hello fine #Fedifolk ^__^

This illustration is inspired by a #documentation on the benefits of returning #wolves to #Scotland, they could hold the deer (and sheep!?) population in check so natural forests could regrow! Just imagine the #highlands a huge forest!
