How Far Is It To.......

No, thanks! I modified the post a few times trying to correct it and gave up.

Whew.

The system won't let me enlarge it either, but thank you for trying to fix it.

The full-sized map is here.  Hope that's okay with you, Housefly Cameo.

WOW! That is so cool! Can I ask where the site is that you got the map from? Is there more DS info on the site?

No, thanks! I modified the post a few times trying to correct it and gave up.

You never would have been able to adjust it, Housefly, because images in posts are restricted by the system to being no wider than 528 pixels - no matter if the original image itself is wider. 


rainingwolf - that map was created by a fan. It's not "official." It's merely their imagining of what Collinsport might look like.    And, in fact, it conflicts with aspects of what was established about Collinsport...

Yep - I found it on this very board, but reposting it was easier than trying to find the thread...

Awesome map. It's a little hard to see some of the numbers, but I like how they laid it out. Looks very town-like. Seems that Collinsport occupied a lot more land then I even thought.

And as for the phonebook, if 50,000 people live in Collinsport, they must have apartments on the ships in the ports, and Collinsport must be the size of a very small city, not a small, gloomy town.

Just an interesting observation... the map says that the population of Collinsport, Maine is 1,841

Actually, linking to the original post rather than reposting its contents is quite strongly recommended by the Forum Guidelines (see #9).

Here's that post containing the image scanned from MB's collection, which credits Warren Oddson for the map and also provides his notes (Source: TWODS):

Re:Map of Collinwood / Collinsport ?

Hey cool map! Thanks for sharing!

Back when Julia was hypnotizing Vicki and then taking her to the Old House and showing her Barnabas in the coffin, one time she had Carolyn go to make tea or coffee and while she was doing that, she did the hypnosis, went to the Old House, looked in the coffin, came back and "unhypnotized," before Carolyn returned with the coffee!!!

Julia knew that Carolyn was sooo ditzy, that Carolyn would have spent at least half an hour searching for a servant to tell to make the coffee before remembering that Liz had fired all the staff 18 years previously!

i always thought that Collinwood and The Old House were just a short walk
from each other like 5 minutes they always seemed to get back and forth
quite quickly and without coats in the winter

And ISTR someone saying that Bangor was about 50 miles away.

BTW, great map, but where's the railway station?

And ISTR someone saying that Bangor was about 50 miles away.

Yes, that's mentioned in the first week - maybe the first episode - of the series.  And yet Josette went there for the day in 1795/6.

I always thought the old house and Collinwood were about a 15 minute walk from each other. I have no idea which episode they mentioned that in, but that's the impression I've always gotten.  How big would that make the Collins estate?  My Grandpa had a farm that was 120 acres and that could take 15 minutes to walk fom one end to the other, especially if you wore formal attire instead of jeans and hiking boots 

[Nelson Collins]

I think it would be not uncommon on a rambling estate for there to be a well beaten or paved/cobbled path between the Old House and Collinwood that is not necessarily as the crow (or bat) flies.

Perhaps the path would be a winding 15 minute walk, but a straight line through the wood closer to five minutes..
