DeLorme Atlas and Gazetter: hidden jokes?

[skibum]

Those mapmakers must get kinda loopy after a while. I've found a couple little things that are just weird.

1. in the New Hampshire atlas (mine is 13th edition), page 23, coord. E-10, just under East Hampstead is a little cartoon of a hamster (actually looks like a guinea pig).

2. Colorado atlas (6th ed.) pg. 38, D-4, by the intersection of Clear Creek, Park, and Summit County lines there is a little cartoon of a skier enjoying some fine powder.

Got any more?

In my Atlas, Rand McNally I think, East Rindge, New Hampshire has been renamed, "East Ringo!"

I had heard about the hampster before. There are otrhers, but I can think of them.

Map and CAD peopel cane be "weird". One of our Drafters at work likes to put his intial on dumptruck license plates and other various places.
