Amid a desert on Installation 00, these ruins are shrouded in mystery regarding their history and what else is buried below the sand. The ruins have had several occupants, such as Jiralhanae and personnel from the UNSC Aegis Fate.

John Speed (1551/52-1629). A New and Accurat Map of the World Drawne according to ye truest Descriptions lastest Discoveries & best observations yt have beene made by English or Strangers. London, 1651.

This map first appeared in A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World, published by George Humble in 1627. George Humble had previously printed Speed’s The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain, a pioneering work that mapped English counties and maps. The Prospect was a very “English” atlas: it is the first world atlas by an Englishman (though not the first world atlas to be published in England) and does not appear to have circulated much outside of England. It is unclear just how involved Speed was in its production, as he had gone blind in 1625 and the Prospect’s organization in general is not as meticulous as one might otherwise expect from Speed. The map was engraved, possibly by Abraham Goos (fl. 1614-1643), and then hand-colored for sale.

Globally, the number of Internet users increased from only 413 million in 2000 to over 3.4 billion in 2016. The one-billion barrier was crossed in 2005. Every day over the past five years, an average of 640,000 people went online for the first time. But how many people from each country are online? In the maps, we see the total number of users by country, and the percentage of a country’s population who are users. #gis #map #maps #mapping #mapmaker #mapmakers #mapofeurope #cartography #mapmonday #geography #geographyteacher #cartographyart #worldmaps #mapstagram #worldculture #teachersforteachers #politicstoday #countriesoftheworld #internet #internets #internetbusiness #digitalmarketing #internets https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfyf-OQIuXy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Philadelphia engineer and architect Frederick Graff worked with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe to design the city’s water works at Centre Square and became their superintendent in 1805. This plan with its many notations made over the span of more than two decades shows how the water works became integrated into the fabric of the lives of the city’s residents.

Unsurprisingly, Graff included information about the length, width, and circumference of various walkways in the square, but we also learn through these additions of the presence of a gambling house and the discovery of a murder victim’s body.

Frederick Graff, [Plan of Centre Square], ca. 1800-1827.
