[OSM-talk] Fwd: General inquiry: hand drawn maps

[Dan Karran]

Does anyone in the community have some good hand-drawn maps that they
would like to share for possible inclusion in an upcoming book? I have
vague recollections of a repository of these sorts of maps a while
back, but I don't remember the details.

I've shared a few sketches but none of them are particularly readable,
so I'm sure there must be better examples out there  :)


Cheers,
Dan

I'm currently working on a book of maps that will be published by Princeton
Architectural Press and would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

The book is based on my web project, the Hand Drawn Map Association, and
focuses on maps that people draw for one another to provide directions or
tell a story. Most of the maps in the collection are by non-professionals,
but I'm interested in framing the book in the larger context of the human
desire to record the world around us. To that end, I'm looking for some
historical or contemporary maps that are specifically sketched or drawn by
hand - not necessarily well executed manuscript maps - but maps that are
more crude, rough, gestural, etc. I'm specifically interested in maps that
are drawn by well known individuals.

Again, I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks,
