I have been slowly trolling (in the good sense) some of these images. The vast majority seem to be maps of various flavors, many of which are repeats of each other.

But once in a while something interesting/different shows up. I just ran across a map illustrating rates of illiteracy in the US according to the census of 1870.

Lol, I know. It's just that the eyepiece reminded me of a primitive Borg.
