Disney ride maps two-fer

I know this one was featured recently over at Strange Maps, but it's still excellent work and the artisit who did it has done other work like it. Meet Jonah Adkins and his tumblr site.  By day he's a professional cartographer. All other times he appears to be devoted to his kids and keenly interested in most things Disney.  

Jonah recently completed a map of the world as it appears in the "It's a Small World" ride at Disney amusement parks.  It's quite an impressive feat, I gotta say... and the Goode Homolosine projection under the title is hardly the nifty-est touch.   


Last spring he finished this map of The Jungle Cruise ride.  It's not quite as ambitious as the Small World map, but it's still very fun:

Finally there's the map of the island in the TV show "Lost".  Not exactly Disney-related... unless one counts that the show aired on ABC which is owned by Disney.

Next week I'll post a couple more things I found on Jonah's site.
