Map of the day

I knew National Geographic has a photo of the day on their website,

But now they have the Map of the day too...today's is an old map of Korea.

other maps you may need to check are the earthquake map

Want to go paranoid LINK is a map of all the emergencies in the world. Today the only Philippine emergency is a minor flood in Leyte...but in South America, there are four volcanos perculating, and Galeras is at level two again...

But the weirdest Map page is StrangeMapsBlog.
A lot of the maps come with the history of why they were made. For example, today's map is Thomas Jefferson's 1787 proposed division of areas west of the Appalachans but east of Spanish Louisiana into states.
