Maps of the unmappable

Today’s catch: five things that take what usually resists a map and give it one anyway. The David Rumsey Collection puts 140,000 historical maps a search away, Cities and Memory pins the real (and remixed) sound of a place to every point on the globe, The Quiet Map tracks the single quietest spot on Earth from live seismometer data, Orbit paints the satellites and debris overhead straight onto the sky, and the World Cup data portraits render each match as its own piece of living cartography.
