Article title:
Mapping Everything From Eden to the New York Subway
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/15/arts/design/15maps.html

The first map in a 1857 atlas created by Edward Quin in England is dated
"B.C. 2348," and it is a map that would not be made today: most of the
page is taken up with the blackness of a thick cloud. At its center, the
darkness is parted in a roiling circle of light. In the distance can be
glimpsed a map fragment, which includes two rivers, a mountain and a
lake. It is labeled Eden.
