Mapping Monday - The Lighter Side of Mapping
I recently ran across an article touting an Old School mapping t-shirt deign on thehalfling.com here.
Also, no humorous post on mapping would be complete without a showing by a Tom Wham Old School TSR ad like the one Shared by oldschoolfrp.tumblr.com here.
Finally, although Matthew Lowes collection of Dungeon Symbols isn't meant to be a setup for an actual dungeon, I thought it would be humorous to think of it as such here.

Mapping Monday - Unexplored Maps
By definition, if they are of the real world, most maps are of places that have been explored. However, as maps were drawn over time, they often included what was known and what was unknown. Naturally, some maps are made by outsiders for other outsiders and there might certainly be others on the inside for which such places are already known. Over on malawicichlids.com, they ask "How do Old Maps Depict the Malawi Region?" Have a look here.
Also, on brilliantmaps.com, they share a "Map of The Unexplored World From 1881" here.
Finally, on loc.gov, check out "Martin Waldseemüller’s 1507 world map" here.
