More markers

These are some points I found in the sidewalks of New York City.

This is the Geodetic Survey Reference Mark from the top of the hill that my home town is named after; Blue Hill, Maine.

Old map of Mt. Desert Island


This ridiculously large map is from around 1887, detailing Mt. Desert Island. I'm originally from this area, and it is pretty funny to see what the mountains used to be named. I was not expecting the individual houses to be labeled with the names of the owners. The island burned in 1947, destroying many old-money New England mansions. This map probably includes many of the houses that burned, almost as prominently as is names some lesser land marks.

I like this image because it's a fun way to look at the world. Turing the globe to see as much water as possible shows how big the Pacific really is, as well as the concentration of landmass on the other side of the planet.
