Shale! Don't say that! We'll have the fracking companies moving in! It's sand that's the problem: https://www.citymetric.com/transport...th-london-2929

17 maps of the US with a clickbait headline, but some are interesting nonetheless

I presume number 2 means that each individual state has a smaller population than LA, not that all of them combined do. I think my favourite (in terms of how interesting it is) is #14. The disused railway one is a bit depressing.

I'd like someone better than me at uploading online images on here to post one I saw the other day, which was a pictorial image of the Milky Way galaxy with our current impact on it (a 200 light year sphere of radio signals). In a galaxy of 150,000 light years that is a miniscule dot so in the visual that I can't post it's jaw-dropping.

Hopefully UA hasn't posted the link and I've missed it, but there are some good New York ones here: http://metrocosm.com/best-nyc-maps-2015/

These are great. Although the text seems to miss what looks like the most important part of this - that all of these are incredibly flat areas being mapped and that the vertical resolution and detail is what is fantastic. We've all seen topographic/elevation maps before, but we've rarely seen them with vertical detail between 0 and 5 meters.
