May 12th, 2018: Ribbon Map
You want to send Aunt Ditzy to Grandma’s house so you draw her a map.
Are to going to draw all the wrong ways to go? Hell no, only the right way to go. That’s the idea behind the Ribbon or Strip map. Quote:

I love this too much.

Some years ago, I found topographical strip maps for popular airline routes in a bookshop in Boulder CO.
Unfortunately, none of those in stock covered the routes that would have been of interest to me so my attention moved to something else. I've done a couple of searches to see if they are still available but without success. However, I did find a scholarly work which might be of interest: A Linear View of the World: Strip Maps as a Unique Form of Cartographic Representation (PDF) If any US Dwellars know the map series I mentioned, please would you let me know details of the publisher, etc? |
makes all kind of sense. I love maps

Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson made a version of these for the Mille Miglia.
Used for rallying. No side trips, please. |
