Somehow there are thousands of Wikipedia pages that use maps in this specific style to show the location of any kind of place imaginable. They clearly are all segments taken from some original source. But I am completely unable to determine that source.

Given the staggering number of pages on which these maps appear, the source surely must be publicly accessible, but I am absolutely unable to find it. 😦

16 Landkarten, die zeigen, wie gross Länder wirklich sind.
nen völlig anderen Blick auf die Welt verschaffen
Unsere Vorstellung der Grösse einzelner Länder ist völlig falsch. Der Grund dafür sind Landkarten wie #Google #Maps, die #Nordamerika, #Russland oder #Europa grösser wirken lassen, als sie es eigentlich sind.

One of my favorite #Petrofuture maps….The Mississippi River becomes a vast inland sea reaching up to Memphis. 
Of course New Orleans is gone. I mean, c’mon.

I should have mentioned that the Vinogradov reference comes in two volumes. There was no corresponding publication for Lunokhod 2, alas.

Here are the remaining plans from Lunokhod 1 images, and a final map of the end of the traverse derived from LRO images of tracks and the old Soviet map.

Six small maps of specific sites on the Lunokhod 1 traverse. The first five are shaded relief versions of the plans in a Soviet-era publication. The last (bottom right) map is the end of the traverse showing the final resting place of Lunokhod 1 and the drives leading up to it.

The first map of the Lunokhod 1 traverse included two areas marked Plan 1 and Plan 2. These are the plans - maps, in other words. They were made using several panorama images to form stereoscopic pairs and the originals included contour lines as well as small crater outlines and rocks. I made a shaded relief interpretation of each plan. The plans appeared in Vinogradov, A. P., 1971. Peredvizhnaya laboratoriya na lune Lunokhod-1. Moscow: Nauka. #maps #moon #luna17 #Lunokhod1

Two detailed plans showing rocks and craters based on Lunokhod 1 images. These maps are shaded relief interpretations of line-drawn Soviet originals.

A while ago I experimented a bit with different rescale-enlargements of the Greater Northshore and MEGAMAP bike maps. I posted some pics but they weren't consistently sized or distanced, so I fixed that. All of these are from my phone camera at a fixed distance away and are cropped down to the same physical size subset.

200 DPI rescale, showing the area around north Shoreline and south Edmonds
Same image, 72 DPI rescale, showing how much bigger the map is physically as this covers exactly the same real-space area of paper. Almost nothing of Shoreline is visible, and in Edmonds it's mostly the area around Firdale Ave.

This is the immediate area of the Luna 17 landing site showing the paths of the rover around it. Lunokhod 1 departed on the east side, and after its excursion to the south it returned and drove around the lander, parking northwest of it. The dark rings are made by in-place turns, visible in LRO images. Some of the moves are to provide overlapping panoramas for stereo viewing. The footpad imprints and disturbed surface are visible in rover images. #maps #moon #Luna17 #lunokhod1

A map of the area around Luna 17's landing site showing the motion of the rover around it. The lander is just left of centre. Lunokhod 1 drove off it to the right (east) and turned south. Two months later it returned and drove around the lander taking pictures of it. It parked for its third night just northwest (upper left) of he lander, and finally drove off to the north early on day 4.

Well, the previous map was kinda boring, as far as these things go.

The South Carolina #Petrofuture map…things start to get interesting again. Plus, a preview of Florida! Everyone’s favorite sea rise map.
