maps

The National Library of Scotland has a digitisation project for older UK Ordnance Survey maps of the UK (not limited to Scotland) from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Site. Included are the 6"/mi [10,000:1] of England, Wales and Scotland, the 25"/mi town plans [2500:1] and the large scale...

I came across an article in the newspaper today and thought I'd share it with any forum members that are as fascinated with cartology as I am. It seems that some of the ancient maps/charts still mystify researchers due to their uncanny accuracy. John Hessler Senior Cartographic Librarian in...

Does any one know how to link to google maps? I don't mean using the API which embeds an image of a map into the web page. I have two options: (1) Create a hyperlink to maps.google.com and supply either location name or long/lattitude or both. (2) Ideally, submit a search to google maps using...

Why Women Can't Read Maps Nothing really new, but interesting.. I had to chuckle at this last part.. Note that it doesn't say that women can speak 20,000 to 25,000 different words a day ... :D

I apologize if this has been done to death on this subforum, but my sister just sent this to me today, and a cursory inspection of titles here did not show it as already posted. This site has a wide variety of different interpretations of the red/blue states, or counties, or electoral votes, or...

This thread is intended to be short and mundane. I wonder if there is a comprehensive set of recent mid-east (since 1900 +-) historical political maps that can be agreed upon as fact reasonable observers from both camps? This is exactly the type of map I'm looking for: EDIT: Link unreliable...
