I love maps. A good map draws you in, revealing a place as well as creating a sort of mystique that fosters a desire to see the place for yourself.

Certain kinds of maps, especially historical ones, are almost always a pleasure to look at; maps that show the ebb and flow of empires or the tides of a battle.

Strange Maps has up one of the better military history maps I’ve seen: depicting the defeat of Napoleon’s Grande Armée in the depths of a wintry Russia.
