Calling #mapstodon !!! Also #librarians and #archivists !!!

I used a lot of old maps in my work for York Library and Archive, which I'm proud to say are on permanent display.

But I'm running out of maps!

If anyone has any old sheet maps (see pic for examples) - not the folded retail sort - that need a new home, please could i have them?!?!

I would love to make you something from them in return, if you'd like.
Thank you!!!

Today i turned a map into a hexagonal dipyramid.... It's held together by hope and a deep breath mostly, but I'm hoping the result will be good.

For an exhibition about architecture and landscape.

Predicting maglev trains might reach a break-through during 2026, I think it might be time to change the “default generic” icon in the route mode switcher widget for transit in Maps from the current train to a new variant!

What was the official name of this long foldout map of history-by-area, and does anyone know how they calculated the areas?

Is there a more current version?

Done mapping all 25 #barangays of Minalabac, Camarines Sur, #Philippines 🇵🇭 in #OpenStreetMap, creating/updating their #Wikidata items, and linking the two with each other.

There’s an interesting development about this map that I uploaded to #WikimediaCommons in 2024. Former Associate Justice Antonio Carpio bought the original paper map and recently gifted it to the National Library of the Philippines.
