Welcome, & thank you to my new followers. This account is meant to support my blog, which is a hobby. The hobby is most fun when I share it. Thanks to all, & spread the fun and mappyness: share, like & comment on my tweets and posts. It means a lot to me. mappyplace.blogspot.com
Hard not to think about #paris and #notredame today. Bought my first #map in its shadow: mappyplace.blogspot.com/2017…
I've done almost no tweeting and no blogging in the past month because we've been busy with the latest addition to our family. I hope to have some new content soon. I'm sorry if anyone was wondering where I'd gone and hope you'll be back to mappyplace.blogspot.com soon!
#boredatwork? Or just looking for a puzzle? This one involved #math and #Maps. I'm re-upping this puzzle that's baffled those who have tried it for hundreds of years. Can you solve it? mappyplace.blogspot.com/2018…
Re-Upping: The first #map to show the name #Canada on it. It's also noted for it's extensive use of Sea Monsters! Check it out: mappyplace.blogspot.com/2018…
Yesterday, I had these visions of me putting my toddler to bed, having dinner with my wife, going to the gym and then coming home and relaxing with a scotch while I wrote about a cool map on my blog. My reality involved a lot more snoring. With apologies to my loyal reader(s?)

Upset with myself that I have not had a chance to produce any new content for my blog this week, so I'll re-up some of the more popular posts I've had. This one, about one of the earliest globes ever made was very popular: mappyplace.blogspot.com/2018…

On this day in 1814, British troops seize Washington DC and set fire to the Capitol, the presidential mansion and several public buildings. The operation is intended to serve as payback for the Americans' burning of towns in Canada.

One of the best things about an old #map are the elements that are known to us today but were unknown to the map-maker at the time. For example, this 16th C map of #Egypt shows three branches of the #Nile. Check it out: mappyplace.blogspot.com/2018…

This stunning 1890 advertisement showcases a new Washington, DC neighborhood with "scenery unsurpassed" and "pure air and pure water."

My latest blog post is about a 16th Century #map of #Egypt. It shows a number of places I recognize, like #Cairo, #Alexandria and #Suez, but many others I can't identify. Anybody have any ideas what these other places are? More here: mappyplace.blogspot.com/2018…
