Our only maps that don't say "Lake Ontario" are the ones that say "Lac Ontario", and we're not going to change that!
(Or the ones that are, you know, of a completely different place in the world.)

Welcome to another Map Monday!

Today's map is " Take the Tube," created by the Hudson & Manhattan Rail Road in 1952. The map depicts the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad’s connectivity to Manhattan, highlighting its accessibility from New Jersey.

(The added hearts are an adorable extra feature. )

Everyone's talking about the Equal Earth map! Just yesterday, the United Nations voted overwhelmingly to adopt this map as the new standard depiction of the world. No flat map can perfectly reflect a round planet, but there's a good case that Equal Earth presents a more egalitarian view, prioritizing an accurate reflection of the relative sizes of the continents.
And yes, we do have them for sale - in English, French, political, physical, Pacific-Centred, Atlantic-Centred, even upside-down! 😁🌎
