I was re-reading some postings under Maps and Atlases this morning (nothing new here since February???) and ran across thorold's posting of Christopher Robin's Map of the 100 Aker Wood:

I know there are many maps of fictional places out there. I also ran across Walt Disney's map of Treasure Island (really not fictional, it's of "their" Treasure Island at Walt Disney World). Let's call it fanciful:

Other maps of fictional places or fanciful maps out there?

Check out Maira Kalman and Rick Meyerowitz' New York Sub Culinary Map.

I'm on a locked down terminal so I can't dig for the url but we have someone in the RPG community who's been taking the simply done maps from the old Dungeons and Dragons Gazetteers works and some of the modules that expanded the world and creating some beautiful large scale maps.

Pretty clever stuff. If I knew NYC a bit better I'd probably "get it" more.

lilithcat, surely we could generate a similar one for Chicago (not to be a copycat, of course)!
