One of my favourite maps is the Valeriepieris circle which is a circle in the south china sea that includes more than half of the world's population
As of 2015, half of the world's population lived within a 3,300-kilometer (2,050 mi) radius of the city of Mong Khet in Myanmar.

I’ve made a map with my recommended Tokyo Photo World locations. Tokyo has a rich photographic culture and this map is an expression of over twenty years of experience in- and love for- this wonderful city.
link: TOKYO PHOTO MAP
It includes (with commentary) photo galleries, camera shops, photobook shops, museums, places to visit, places to get your film processed and a bunch of my favorite places to eat.
You can toggle between topics to find places to go or see what’s near where you are.
You may note that I’ve left off some obvious places (Shibuya Crossing) and cheesy tourist traps like Omideyokocho and Golden Gai (no Go-Kart tour places, either!). Certainly there will be places which you know and love that I haven’t listed but that’s ok because this map is by no means a comprehensive list- it’s merely a personal one.
I hope that it adds enjoyment to your time in Tokyo.

A few weeks ago I went to Himeji armed with a history book. Within its bilingual pages was a map of the city from the 1800s showing how it probably was laid out at the end of the 1700s.
I spent a while with the map (see below), walking the streets and working out what was what. The modern map aligns reasonably well with this drawn one, and it is possible to see where plots of land have merged and how part of the moat has been taken over by a road.
A whole island has been lost after being infilled and now serves as a zoo, and large parts of the outer moat have been lost under roads.
If I'm right, the three temples in the photos are the purple blocks on the right hand side of the map. Much of the road layout around them looks intact too. Where it has been lost there appear to be echoes of it in shortened side roads and property boundaries.
I'll head back there in a month or three and take another look. The area on the backside of the castle from the station looks interesting. It's now a library and driving school (I think).
If you're interested in Japanese Castles and how they are laid out and evolved, The Castles and Castle Towns of Japan by HIRAI Kiyosi and translated by Watanabe Hiroshi is my source. It's a bilingual book that's part of a series covering different aspects of Japanese architecture.
(I posted a version of this on my blog)
