A thread for interesting MAPS (1 Viewer)

[Kate]

This is apparently a map made in preparation for a Polish occupation of England by the Warsaw Pact, with phonetic place names. May amuse people in or from SE England.

DAAAAAHN to MAGYT. I think my favourite is Czypyng-Onga though.

Took me ages to work out where DZYLYNEM was

[Kate]

I'm going to have to go and look at Google Maps to see what Czelek-Lijz is.

 

[Tisch]

SAUFEND replacing the TH with a F. ACCURATE.

Nice to see RAMFED on there, but my hometown seems to be hidden under the hatching.

This is MY KIND of topic by the way. I've just bought this to hang in the study.

 

[Kate]

CHALLOCK LEES. Alright then.

Presumably Dzejłyk-Sendz is Jaywick Sands. Sounds LOVELY

Lucky the daily thread has gone all SERIOUS or I might have bunged it in there instead of starting a new thread

 

[Kate]

Oh and that will be VERY HELPFUL with pub quizzes.

 

[Tisch]

This is like those "name as many..." games.

Czypyng-Onga is AMAZING

 

[Tisch]

Basildon is missing which makes sense 'cos it was built post-war, but I've just spotted it's now-suburb PYSTII.

 

[Kate]

I'm Byleryky Dyky and I'm doing very well.

Another thing I love to see is BAD MAPS

Where the hell is THAT

Where the hell is THAT

Billieracy?

 

[Tisch]

Of course.

And "Billericay-Dicky" appears to be the name of a SONG by an artist who isn't Kylie or Britney.

 

[Kate]

*writes hateful tag*

 

[Alex]

Ooh I fucking love a good map, i have a wall of maps in my dining room

 

[RS]

No one loves maps as much as I do.

OOOOH, I LOVE this! Have you got a link?

I’m liking the mut(il)ation of Grays Thurrock into GREJZ-FEREK

 

[Kate]

Oh I thought FEREK was FERRY! Thurrock makes much more sense.

I keep spotting new things. This is a DYSTRYKT LINE TRAIN to APMYNSTE

Fun GEOGRAPHY FACT I discovered during ASFM. My host nation St Kitts and Nevis does not recognise the PRC.

Czypyng-Onga is AMAZING

WHAT IS THIS?!?

 

[AGinAg (39)]

WHAT IS THIS?!?

Chipping Ongar?

 

[Zu]

Took me ages to work out where DZYLYNEM was

What IS it?

 

[Zu]

Oh is it GILLINGHAM?

 

[Kate]

Yes!

 

[Tisch]

Fun GEOGRAPHY FACT I discovered during ASFM. My host nation St Kitts and Nevis does not recognise the PRC.

I think quite a few Carribbean nations get a lot of funding and infrastructure from Taiwan in exchange for them recognising them as the true China. I THINK.

 

[Lucille]

I think it’s the same with a few islands in the Pacific too.

SEXY MAPS

 

[RJN]

As I posted somewhere else, http://old.reddit.com/r/mapporn has so much good stuff. It has ruined many nights of sleep for me

 

[RJN]

I could stare at this for hours

 

[Kate]

But what IS IT?

 

[RJN]

Human Development Index (a combination of quality of life stuff that I can't remember the exact details of) by parts of countries

 

[RJN]

It's not really talked about as much, but there is so much diversity of development in Central/South America
