A map with that, sir?
A quick search this evening revealed that the “proper name” for someone who likes maps is a cartophile. No Wiki reference, yet, but everything comes along in time. Remember, I started with maps at a very early age; there wasn’t much else for a pre-reader in the CNR stations a lifetime ago. A map of the rail route, with each station as a circle. I’ve since learned that there’s a whole other story behind the maps that the railways produced in those times. Anyhow, let’s blame it on Hansel and Gretel, dropping crumbs and pebbles to mark their route. Blame the pigeons for the rest.
