A Subway Map of Maps That Use Subway Maps as a Metaphor

I thought of this concept a while back after noticing more and more subway-style maps being used to show other things. I finally got around to mocking it up. I still have more work to do on it but I thought I would post it before someone else comes up with the same idea. After finishing the first draft, I stumbled on the Cool Infographics page on Subway Maps which includes several more examples of concepts diagrammed as a subway map so I will have to add them in in the next version. Here are the links for all the subway-style maps I've found so far (the "stations" on my map)

Subways

Transit Map Directory - Too many to include (London, Paris, Tokyo, New York, etc.) and not the point

Railways

A Transit Map of Transit Maps, done by Mark Ovenden as a promo for his Transit Maps of the World Book. First discovered on Big Think 

Cameron Booth has done a number of subway-inspired maps including a map of Amtrak's train routes and France's railways.

Highways 

Cameron has also mapped a number of highways systems as subway maps including the US Interstate Highway System and Europe's major highways.

Buses

Stamen's "The City from the Valley" Project

Washington DC Buse Routes 

Skyways
Pan Am Flight Routes - Thanks to Cameron Booth for finding this reference for me.

I'm still looking for this example.

Land

US National Parks - Also covered here

Wine regions in France: Discovered on the Strange Maps Blog with the DeLong Wine original here. 

Rivers

Mississippi River: Created by Daniel Huffman who has also mapped the Colorado, Columbia, Yukon, and St. Lawrence Rivers (among others) on his website

The River Thames has been mapped, quite seriously as a subway-style map to show river buses, river tour companies and the piers where they stop.
