Petaluma is a town in Sonoma County, California. Cartonaut and Andrew Wedlake sent us pics of a bar (presumably in Petaluma) incorporating several maps into the design.

Reinder spotted this print of a map of The Hague by Frederick De Wit (ca 1698) at the staff entrance to the national library of The Netherlands.

Dennis Bauszus shared with us this map that popped out near London fields.

Another spot from Reinder, this time at the American Book Centre, at the Spui in Amsterdam.
