A more recent companion to this map, which shows one of the major sources of London's wealth in the 19th century, the docks and in particular timber importation, is this one www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/49815322 which relates to the 21st century's business world of finance and information technology.
The view above also contrasts the old world of commerce in materials in the foreground with the distant towers of the financial world of Canary Wharf.

I only uploaded this map because, having visited the area on the Docklands Light Railway recently, I realized that I hadn't uploaded this section of the gazetteer when adding the London maps some time ago.

Moravio estas historia lando, kiu estis parto de la ĉeĥa reĝlando kaj naskiĝlando de Komenio.
Ĝi situas en la orienta parto de Ĉeĥio.
Pli en la artikolo: eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravio

Komenio ŝatis migri kaj vojaĝi kaj kolektis materialojn por la mapo pliajn jarojn. Origine ĝi devintis krei parton de la verko pri moravia historio nomita
"De Antiquitatibus Morauiae", kies manuskripto ne konserviĝis. Li klopodis precipe korekti erarojn en la mapo de Moravio de Fabricius el 1569 kaj kompletigi ĝin per propraj konoj.
La origina desegnaĵo ne konserviĝis, la verko estas konata laŭ la plej malnova presita versio - kuprogravuraĵo de A.Goos el Amsterdamo supozeble el 1624. Ĝis la morto Komenio aperis pluraj eldonoj. En ĉeĥja landoj ĝi estis eldonita nur en 1677, do 7 jarojn post li amorto.
Mezuro de la mapo estas 1 : 530 000.
Komenio notis ne nur la reliefon, akvaron kaj setlejojn, sed ankaŭ vinberejojn, kuracfontojn, banlokojn, vitrofarejojn kaj erc-, or- kaj arĝentminejojn.

I find it curious that the panel at the eastern end shows the stations at the outer end of the District Line, but also includes places like Grays, Tilbury and Southend that weren't on the District Line or in fact on the Underground. Places in similar relationships to the Underground network, but in other directions don't get mentioned.

This map is a section of the pages devoted to Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, from a Gazetteer of Great Britain. It has been dated, from the state of development of the railways, to circa 1884. The covers, initial few pages and all of the Welsh section are missing, hence the need to calculate its date. The maps have been uploaded at a large scale, so that they can be seen in detail. Go to ACTIONS and See all sizes. They may take a time to load clearly. I haven't added the whole set to the Gloucestershire group, but they can be found in my Victorian maps album. The sections are a bit odd as the two counties are individually quite odd shapes and even combined they have bits sticking out in odd places.
I haven't scanned Herefordshire, but could do if there is interest.

Lake Mead is in the foreground.

"The Big Map" is a relief map of southern California and nearby parts of Arizona and Nevada built by the Metropolitan Water District in the 1920s as part of its campaign for approval of the Colorado River Aqueduct. It was later used by Patton as it covered the same area as his Desert Training Center in World War II. It is now the property of the Patton Museum in Chiriaco Summit, California, where it is on public display.

This is part of a page from a gazetteer of Great Britain & Ireland, that my father dated to circa 1884, by looking at the railways. He was a great railway enthusiast and knew which railways were built when. It quotes details from the 1881 census, which confirms the 1880s dating. The gazetteer came from my maternal grandfather, who lived the latter years of his life in Cardiff. This may explain why the maps of Wales are missing. The cover and front pages with the publishing details have also gone. The major cities are shown in this amount of detail, but the county maps are in much smaller scales. The maps are clearly by a number of different map makers.
