 If you are into old vintage printable maps, you should check out King's topographical collection. I absolutely love it.

All of these maps are in the public domain and are super hi-res.

 Amazing 😍 have you heard of ‘The Phantom Atlas: The Greatest Myths, Lies and Blunders on Maps’
Book by Edward Brooke-Hitching 
 I've read the summary of that book, and I believe it highlights mistakes and errors in vintage maps, which shaped our exploration. I particularly enjoy the exploration chapter of humanity. 🤍 
 Fantastic. I'm a GIS nerd, and looooove maps. Thank you! 
 Welcome 🫡 
 Very nice - have you ever come across the national library of Scotland maps?

 It's looking very informative, thanks for sharing 
 You're welcome, my favourite feature is laying an old map and the modern satellite view side by side and seeing how much areas have changed  
 Wow amazing source of old maps!
