Something is wrong with File:Brooklyn, Vol. 3, Double Page Plate No. 39; Sub Plan from Plate 38; (Map bounded by Barren Island, Part of Ruffle Bar; Including Duck Point Marshes, Pumpkin Patch Meadows) NYPL1703808.tiff, or at least its not rendering for me. Ceoil (talk) 21:25, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The page could do with a few more, and better images...File:Deep Creek Dead Horse jeh.JPG is a bit meah. Ceoil  (talk) 21:30, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * , thanks, I noticed that too. Will fix it. Regarding the other images, I will try to find some that are freely licensed and illustrative. epicgenius (talk) 21:42, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Moved from the main page; I don't see these as being significant, so I relocated them here. epicgenius (talk) 19:21, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
