One of the things that makes this map so interesting is that it shows the names of some very small towns in Newfoundland. Also, it shows just how sparse the interior is, and how busy the coasts are. The size of the name on the map corresponds to the size of the town itself.
Really though, the best thing about this map, are the fun place names in Newfoundland. Some of which I've actually been to!
For example, on the image below, note Nickey's Nose Cove, Coffee Cove, and Leading Tickles.
Here we have Placentia, Dildo, Little Heart's Ease, and Bonavista, first sited by Cabot.
Do you own this?
