I thought Prester John was canonically supposed to be in India, or at least somewhere in Central Asia? That’s how he’s described in Mandeville’s Travels.
He is a mythological moving target. Abyssinia became a frequently touted locale (makes sense, large Christian Kingdom).
Doesn’t really count but it’s neat.
Night Lights Mapped as Terrain
That patch of tallness/brightness NW of Bismarck where nobody lives is the Bakken oil field.
It’s a little weird seeing “Yugoslavians” in central Montana, but Serbia isn’t a thing in 1958. A lot of Serbians ended up working in mining. Dangerous work.

Well, Expo ‘86 had a monorail and it was amazing.
I’m sure it turned out well for the Vancouver-ites.
Skytrain is a pretty core part of Vancouver’s mass transit isn’t it?
i haven’t been back to Vancouver since, but… Wikipedia says everything is fine. I guess that salesman was on the level.
US Map of DC Superhero Cities

Uhhh…Jason…see post 102. :)
Heh, didn’t see that. However, as my post indicates, it was much more than a menu.
Here is a map for a different Cruise:
Neat, thanks for elaborating. All I had to go on was the little blurb at DavidRumsey.
I played an unhealthy amount of that game. Styrofoam hexes, miniatures… good times.
