Random Maps I Found Around Our House

(Without Really Trying)

A book titled 'Maps'A spread of a cartoony map of Canada.

A Book of Cartoony Maps of Various Countries, Titled "Maps"

It's a kid's book. We have no kids, but we love maps. (Source: thrift store.)

An atlas book with a picture of a loon on the cover.A spread with information about a bird called Cedar Waxwing.

An Atlas of Ontario Birds I Didn't Even Know We Had That Is Probably Super Outdated

I don't know how old it is. I could check but I don't feel like getting off the couch. Sorry. It looks fairly old, though. (Source: definitely thrift store—receipt found between pages—it was $1.79.)

A folding paper road map of Ontario Iceland, in Icelandic.An unfolded paper road map of Iceland.

A Road Map of Iceland From Our Freebie Iceland Road Trip In 2017

Probably still good because it doesn't look like they build new roads all that often in Iceland. But then again, who still uses paper maps these days. I didn't even bother to pack it when we went for another Iceland road trip this year. (Source: the Icelandic travel agency that gifted me the trip.)

A small, folding paper map of Scotland.A small, paper map of Scotland, unfolded.

A Tiny Map of Scotland From A Scotland Guidebook That's Really Too Small To Actually Be Useful

I saw the book at a thrift store and it surprisingly still had the pocket map intact so I got it just for that reason. Pretty sure it's from pre-pandemic time, but not as old as 2016, which was the last time we were in Scotland. Still ahead of us! Not that my aging eyes could see anything on the map very clearly, but it's a map. I love maps. (Source: thrift store.)

A folded, paper map of Quebec's Eastern Townships.The Eastern Townships map, unfolded.

A Freebie Road Map of Quebec's Eastern Townships From Pre-Pandemic Time That We Still Haven't Got Around To Using

I actually requested to be sent this map because the Eastern Townships look like a cool area to visit in the Fall to me at the time. But we never really did go. And then the pandemic happened. And now I just find the area a wee bit too close to the US border for me to want to visit. I'm sure the Quebec Tourism Board—the source of the map—is not holding their breath.

A book called 'Earth From AboveA two-page spread of an aerial photo of a glacial river in a snowy, mountain landscape.

Not Really A Book of Maps But The Aerial Photos In The Book Are So Damn Cool and Detailed They Could've Been Maps

I swear this book weighs at least a tonne! (Source: probably thrift store, as it looks like an expensive book and—to be completely honest with you—we're cheap.)
