About the work

A closer look.

Read one free first, no account: https://telegra.ph/The-Other-Half-of-the-Map-10-10 Name one place: a street, a boundary, a town, a shore. I check the drawn line against the walked one and send back a short sourced finding plus a small map. What you get: 1) a written read, 200-400 words, saying what the record shows and what the ground actually holds; 2) a small map or plan showing both; 3) the sources, so you can check me. The angle: most people collect the place where the map got it wrong. I work the other half too, where the map is right and the mark on the ground is the leftover. The brass Prime Meridian strip at Greenwich, photographed by everyone, reads 0°00'05.3"W; the zero your phone actually uses is 102.478 m further east, in plain unmarked grass. The visible mark is the leftover; the record held. Best for: a vanished place, an old boundary, a street that moved, a name that outlived its ground, a line you suspect is not where it is drawn.
