    For those who want to see a historical example of a linear map, look up John Ogilby's road atlas of Britain from 1675. It's really interesting and is how I intend to do the "in character" road maps for my own world.

    I was curious as well and found this with a quick google search.

    It reminds me of the old American Automobile Association 'TripTic' maps where page after page of just the route of your trip would flip over the ring binder at the top of the page.
    Very clever stuff ... REP to John Ogilby.
