About All Maps

Obtainer of Rare Cartographies

Like John McClane with a better sense of direction, I’ve been crawling through the metaphorical air ducts of spatial history to build this archive. What started as a desperate attempt to prove to my wife that yes, there really was a Mrs. Fields next to Spencer’s Gifts in 1994, evolved into… this.

Mission

Some say I’m just trying to help people find their gate at O’Hare. Others insist I’m secretly mapping an escape route from the Overlook Hotel. The truth? I just really, really like knowing where things used to be. Through meticulous archiving and an arguably unhealthy obsession with vintage mall directories, I’m building what I hope will become the Library of Alexandria for people who can’t remember which terminal had the good Cinnabon.

Why Trust This Madness?

Here at All Maps, you’ll find:

  • Time Travel Through Spaces: Every airport terminal change, every campus expansion, every resort renovation – we’re capturing it all. Because sometimes you need proof that magical corner between Spencer’s and Sam Goody actually existed.
  • Obsessive Documentation: I started this archive the way Indiana Jones probably started collecting artifacts – with one map that nobody else thought was worth saving. Now I’m out here doing my best “It belongs in a museum!” impression every time I find another terminal map from 1992.
  • Living History: From sprawling ski resorts to that one hotel where you’d swear the corridors keep rearranging themselves – every floor plan, every hidden shortcut, every secret path to the ice machine.

Join The Archive

Whether you’re trying to prove the existence of a long-gone Orange Julius or planning your next terminal sprint, this archive is for you. Every “wait, wasn’t there a…” moment becomes another piece of our collective spatial memory.

Let’s map the past – one floor plan at a time. 🗺️

Like that time Indy swapped a golden idol for a bag of sand (smooth move, doc), I’ve been trading dusty directories for digital preservation.

Down Here, It’s Our Maps. It’s Our Time.

You know what really sealed my fate as a map archivist? Finding my old copy of The Goonies treasure map (okay, fine, it was actually just the map from the DVD special features that I’d laminated… because of course I did).

There’s something about seeing One-Eyed Willy’s meticulous cartography that makes you realize – every map tells a story, marks a treasure, holds a memory. And while I can’t promise our archive will lead you to a pirate ship, I can guarantee it’ll help you find something just as valuable: proof that you’re not crazy, that store really was right there, and your memory isn’t playing tricks on you. Goonies never say die, and neither do maps – not on my watch.
