Map samples

In studio someone asked about good graphic examples to look at for color, fonts, layout, and symbol inspiration. While it is hard to provide large libraries AND endorse their contents, I have come up with a few links worth of eye candy that might get you thinking in new directions.
ASLA 2006 Student Awards - more than just good graphics
NJ State Mapping contest - with Rutgers students as winners
ESRI's Map Museum - maps on virtually every topic
Visual Tools for Planners from the Lincoln Institute - 2 links since I can't tell the difference

Now here is where I go astray:
Hipkiss' Scanned Old Maps - Could give us ideas for faux-antique
Strange Maps - clearly not such good design ideas, but plenty of fun
Data Visualization - a few great examples that have nothing to do with our project
Edward Tufte - a graphics and visualization blog from a real master
things to look at - a blog for graphic ideas
