Kinda stunning. But it does always seem hard to find affordable fast food in rural America. Much less healthy fast food. Matter of fact it seems worse. Maybe that is true... cheapfoodmap.com #maps #food #map

I abuse the word "'genius". Too flippant with the term, & I'm probably not alone. And then a map takes me back to someone like Alexander Von Humboldt, & I remember when it should be applied. Here his great work that influenced Pike & Arrowsmith. His 1811 map Mexique en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexand...

I stumbled into Grayson Perry, the English artist and presenter, and am wondering. How did i not come across him before. Just one instance that made we smirk and nod in agreement. "Island of Bad Art" #maps #art #map #artist

It's a beautiful approach to an old format... isochronic-passage-chart.netlify.app#par #maps #history #travel #map

Isochronic Passage Chart for Travellers — 2026

Door-to-door travel time from ten world cities, computed from real schedules and drawn as an 1881 hand-tinted lithograph. What took forty days in 1881 now takes forty hours.

Just a small map from the 1830's, but interesting for those transitional territories where in the northwest is the "Columbia" territory, and Arkansas stretches across some of the Texas border. #map #history #maps

Really like this premise of a foundational map for exploring Wikipedia. wikimap.wiki?base=map&lat... (beware can make an afternoon disappear) #maps #history #map #wikipedia

We've met some cool people over the years, & still smile when I see this map for "Puerto Rico E Islas Limitrofes" issued by the U.S.G.S. in 1952 (In Spanish!!) Doc spent years on the island, did some aerial photography, & always had a love for the people & the place. #map #history #puertorico #maps

Still think about this map All because of a gent that stopped by our booth, noticed it & related the story of a neighbor/diver & part of the team that explored nuclear waste around the Farallons. "Thousands upon thousands of barrels, just sitting in the sea..." #map #sanfrancisco #history #nuclear

Holy cow. A great dialect map, and they are asking for participants to help. #maps #language #map aschmann.net/AmEng/#Large...

All those invisible domains that would become more and more important and blossom with new technologies. (And so much that we've jammed in there since 1952 when this was made) #science #map #dataviz #technology

This is the landmark chart mapping the human genome. And key to this accomplishment was Craig Venter. He changed the dynamic of the field, innovated and continued to make impacts. With the passing of Dr Venter, we remember an amazing life. #maps #history #biology #genome

There is a unique connection to the Vajrayana branch of #Buddhism and the land of #Tibet. It's not just in the monasteries, but in the lands itself. Here, a pictorial view of the land and some of those key places. #map #history #maps #mountains

Primitive for this portion of Central America (c. 1756), but still well formed and with some interesting notations. San Jose CR is here shown as "Carthage". No sign of Managua, but "Massaya", "Leon" and "Grenada" are noted. #map #history #maps #nicaragua #costarica

A speaker said to focus on "the Just Past", as in moments where humanity was trying to do things good, correct & restorative. Here's my candidate. Gandhi's Salt March on 70th anniversary. A nonviolent action that even motivated U.S. Civil Rights efforts decades later. #maps #history #map #politics

Also very cool. An interactive map for the Silk Road. (there goes today's productivity) www.intofarlands.com/silk-roads-map #maps #history #map

Ernest Dudley Chase had raging success in the second half of life as he retired, started pursuing his dream of making maps, and was well received. His sense of design set him apart, and here, just a few of his compass roses, taken from some of his famous pictorial maps. #maps #map #design

A wonderful mix of evolving precision, and some mythical holdovers. So much of the East Indies now becomes identifiable, but it looks like a land bridge connects Australia to Papua New Guinea. Note as well the lake which is the source to all the great rivers of SE Asia #maps #history #map #Asia

The bias from Henry Luce, the republican publisher, here his map of the early years of F.D.R. Starting in the upper left & apparently one mistake after another. (Notice the WPA workers resting on their shovels? They built the Lincoln tunnel, 30 hospitals, 280k of roads & more) #maps #history #map

A favorite woodblock engraving from Sebastian Münster, c. 1558, showing some of the best of what was understood for Asia. (And including a wonderful Mermaid with a double tail) #map #history #maps #asia

It's a game that was produced in many editions up into the 1970's. Here, well prior to the air age (c. 1911) was a game for exploring the world through the steamship and railroad routes around the world #maps #history #map #travel #games

Was out skateboarding & did the deed. 8 screws & a big plate, back together. My two hilarious brought the humor. "Should I call & tell you're sponsors you are out for the season?" - "Who's gonna tell Tony Hawk?" "Who were your sponsors, geritol, metamucil, & life alert?" #2026 #love #health

Post War, the exotic allure of Hawaii & Polynesian culture had to be so tempting. Easier air travel, disposable income, simpler times. Prior to the surge of tourism & the unimaginable growth that would change so much, this was a promotional pictorial map for the islands. #maps #Hawaii #map

Finding geography homework from the mid-19th century is a treasure. Some young student sketching out their world, recognizing where they were & probably noticing how much of the continent, or the world was unknown. Fell out of the back of a school atlas we got in. #maps #history #map #geography

"Search a map using natural language & LLMs" llmparty.pixeletes.com/experiments/... asked "what's a great place for dorks to hang out". M.I.T. libraries, British Museum, Cern, & San Diego Comicon. I have hung out at some of those places & would love to go to Cern. Ouch. #maps #nerd #map #culture

While it had been an international fascination long before America arrived, the U.S. certainly made impacts in the field, beyond the Wright brothers and Robert Goddard. The manufacturers, test pilots, military programs, on to the Space race. Here an overview. #map #flight #maps #history
