_MapForum_ had a nice short article on the subject of escape maps some
years ago: http://www.mapforum.com/04/escape.htm . Although not updated
for some years, John Rado maintained a site pertaining to silk/cloth
maps that had a good bit of detail: http://www.silkmaps.com/index.html .
As to the ties to Waddingtons' and Monopoly, _The Atlantic_ also just
had a recent blurb:
http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/01/how-monopoly-games-helped-allied-pows-escape-during-world-war-ii/266996/

. There is actually a significant literature on these subjects, and I am
sure they are receiving some renewed attention due to the game-maker's
decision to hold a public vote on what changes to make to their
longstanding playing pieces.
