The Americas. Very old maps.

It really is remarkable how accurate some of these old maps are, without the aid of satellites or aerial photography. These people were persistent.

Oh, here we go with the aliens thing, again.

These are beautiful. I particularly like this one.

There's a wonderful shop in downtown PWM with old maps of Maine cities and counties. I love to spend time in there just searching around for neat stuff.

Actually, I have no idea why I don't own a historical map of the town I live in.

My 12-month wall calendar right now is Ancient Maps, and it rocks. Danke!
