You live on Runestone Hill? What a commute you have to work.

Fortunately I didn't select that map for it's street information and
the contours will not have much changed.

That shows the map is less than 10 to 15 years old.

I guess you didn't notice the dates on the various maps. You also seem
to have failed to notice my comment "Note that the water levels are
modern and lower than the 19th century levels which are now being
restored by the construction of dams". All that matters is the
contours and general topography. If you want to find a sushi
resteraunt you should try a map which concentrates on streets.
