Notes on cartography by American cartographer, Erwin Raisz (1893-1968). So neat and precise. This makes me want to draw maps.
I think these are all from Raisz’s 1962 book, PRINCIPLES OF CARTOGRAPHY.

A map of Mongo by Alex Raymond. From the FLASH GORDON comic strip. It’s what George Lucas got it from, didn’t he? A jungle world, an ice world, a volcano world…
The New World: Sebastian Münster’s 1544 map was the first to show America as a continent.
A 1974 map of Legoland.
The world of the Fraggles: a nicely detailed map by the man who co-designed them, Michael Frith.
I love the addition of Uncle Travelling Matt, far left. For some reason he was my favorite Fraggle. I had an Uncle Matt doll and would photograph him in front of various interesting sights. One day, I put him up on a cliff and stepped back to take a picture, but he fell over and dropped into the sea. There his travels ended.
Michael K. Frith’s concept art and maps for Jim Henson’s Fraggle Rock.
The image quality is a little shaky here and there, but these are the best versions I could find.

“Ye North Poole.” “Where ye echo lays.” “Ye longe walke of coole and shade.”
Parts of an old map showing the Victorian mansion, Friar Park. Image 6 is the complete map, but unfortunately its quality is quite poor; the big red building though is the main house.
Take a minute to study the details of George Harrison’s dark old lair, which housed a statue of a monk holding a frying pan with holes in it, the plaque reading, “Two Holy Friars”.
A handy map of the Batcave. By classic Batman artist, Dick Sprang.
