Nicely done fantasy map showing the route of the famous Oregon Trail. Very much in the style of H.C. Beck’s famous London Underground diagram, but with some lovely humorous touches.

Have we been there? Kind of. Living in Oregon means I’ve driven or hiked along long stretches of the old trail. Wish I could catch the train there, though.

What we like: Lovely homage to the original source, fantastic sense of humour – “hire Indian for safe passage”, ha!

What we don’t like: The rivers just end, looking like big blue sausages. It’s The Dalles, not Dalles. Doesn’t tell me where I’m likely to get dysentery or break a wagon wheel.

Our rating: Four stars out of five!
