Mapping

I hope to map transportation networks of some sort. I am especially interested in studying the travel time between locations as a basis for reconfiguring the continents. (Much like the cutting and folding examples from the Agency of Mapping reading.)

On a global scale this analysis has the potential reveal the non-spatial proximity of locations around the globe.
