How about something a bit more graphic, like this piece Tom Carden did  
for historical Oakland maps?

I agree with Richard Mann, the map *is* the data. I also agree with  
Andy Allan, multiple layers should be visible up-front in some form.  
An addition that would help round this out would be an improved  
version of the current data layer, a view that directly exposes the  
fact of raw, underlying vector data exposed for the use and  
modification of visitors.
