    This is an interesting read.  Map #7, the 'Red Line' Map of North America, 1782-3″ was quite interesting, something I hadn't known about.Ten of the greatest: Maps that changed the world

    I think #9 is interesting.  It had never occurred to me that the Mercator projection is inherently “colonial”.

    Yes, welcome Renegade.I was impressed by the Chinese globe from 1623.  It looks fairly accurate in terms of distance, esp. between Africa and India and Southeast Asia.
