A thread for interesting MAPS

This is apparently a map made in preparation for a Polish occupation of England by the Warsaw Pact, with phonetic place names. May amuse people in or from SE England.



DAAAAAHN to MAGYT. I think my favourite is Czypyng-Onga though.

 

Took me ages to work out where DZYLYNEM was

 

KOULCZYSTE

 

I'm going to have to go and look at Google Maps to see what Czelek-Lijz is.

 

SAUFEND replacing the TH with a F. ACCURATE.

Nice to see RAMFED on there, but my hometown seems to be hidden under the hatching.

This is MY KIND of topic by the way. I've just bought this to hang in the study.

 

CHALLOCK LEES. Alright then.

Presumably Dzejłyk-Sendz is Jaywick Sands. Sounds LOVELY

 

Lucky the daily thread has gone all SERIOUS or I might have bunged it in there instead of starting a new thread

 

Oh and that will be VERY HELPFUL with pub quizzes.

 

This is like those "name as many..." games.

Czypyng-Onga is AMAZING

 

Basildon is missing which makes sense 'cos it was built post-war, but I've just spotted it's now-suburb PYSTII.

 

I'm Byleryky Dyky and I'm doing very well.

 

Another thing I love to see is BAD MAPS

 

Where the hell is THAT

 

Billieracy?

 

Of course.

And "Billericay-Dicky" appears to be the name of a SONG by an artist who isn't Kylie or Britney.

 

*writes hateful tag*

 

Ooh I fucking love a good map, i have a wall of maps in my dining room

 

No one loves maps as much as I do.

 

OOOOH, I LOVE this! Have you got a link?

 

I’m liking the mut(il)ation of Grays Thurrock into GREJZ-FEREK

 

Oh I thought FEREK was FERRY! Thurrock makes much more sense.

I keep spotting new things. This is a DYSTRYKT LINE TRAIN to APMYNSTE

I noticed CONTROVERSIALLY that they include Taiwan in with PRC.

I guess this is not a bestseller right now https://www.boldtuesday.com/product...354680418&pr_ref_pid=380660161&pr_seq=uniform

 

Fun GEOGRAPHY FACT I discovered during ASFM. My host nation St Kitts and Nevis does not recognise the PRC.

 

WHAT IS THIS?!?

 

Chipping Ongar?

 

What IS it?

 

Oh is it GILLINGHAM?

 

Yes!

 

I think quite a few Carribbean nations get a lot of funding and infrastructure from Taiwan in exchange for them recognising them as the true China. I THINK.

 

I think it’s the same with a few islands in the Pacific too.

 

Poor uninhabited Kosovo
