John Held Jr was really an imaginative treasure of the time. Great illustrator and commentator on the culture of the time.

xkcd: Bad Map Projections: The United Stralia
The plaque from the 6th century BC shows a map of Mesopotamia – roughly where modern-day Iraq is – and what the Babylonians believed lay beyond the then-known world. The map shows Mesopotamia, which the ancient scribe called the “bitter river,” surrounded by a double ring. The river formed the border around the known Babylonian world. Within the bitter river, small circles and rectangles represent various Mesopotamian cities and tribes, including Babylon, while another rectangle represents the Euphrates River.
“When we operate beyond the known world into fantasy, this inscription becomes essential,” Finkel added. The Babylonian scribe mapped what he believed lay beyond his world. The map included mythical creatures and lands, and a familiar story from ancient history. This story is the Babylonian version of the biblical account of Noah’s Ark.

Die Deutsche #Post und auch #DHL nutzen #Google #Maps nicht mehr länger bei der #Paketverfolgung. Stattdessen setzen sie auf #Kartenmaterial von #Openstreetmap.
Natürlich nur wegen des Geldes und nicht weil die Post plötzlich Open Source für sich entdeckt hat. Bleibt zu hoffen daß sich das ändert und sie hilft, das Kartenmaterial zu verbessern.

A friend of mine, Ben Missimer, makes #maps (& animated maps) to help others design their land for ecological resilience; basic contour maps, #hydrology, #forest cover, #wetlands, drainage, erosion, slope, #solar aspect, satellite images, & more (also all in large hi-rez, some suitable for framing & hanging on your walls).
He's okayed sharing these exemplary files. #permaculture #design https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qeb6nfvakmk81q1/AABw5yg-uSjwqHRWml8mOoG7a?dl=0If you need reasonably priced mapwork for your projects Ben's website is https://www.pearlriverecodesign.com/
