When I first moved to the Bay Area someone pointed out to me that most tourist maps of San Francisco compress the scale of the western part of the city. Here are a couple of maps that take that somewhat to an extreme, but you can notice more subtle implementations of the different scales on other maps of the city. It takes a lot longer to walk from Divisadero to the Ocean than these maps would have you believe! https://baycityguide.com/media/00P0B00000tqJggUAE/San-Francisco-City-Map.pdf https://i1.wp.com/citysightseeingtours.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Brochure-Summer-2018-Large.jpg On Thu, Aug 2, 2018 at 11:07 AM, Craig Haggit <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > The one I'm most familiar with are oblique world maps like the Newsmaps > from World War II (Target Tokyo > <https://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/s/539v5d> in the David Rumsey > map collection, scale along the bottom).
