Looking Into The Past Pictures
Historypin may have mastered the art of placing historical pictures on top of Google Maps Street View. Buzz Feed however have devised a more low-tech method of comparing historical photographs with the modern day.
This one has nothing to do with maps but I love these 75 shots of old photos manually placed over the same view today.

If you want to see similar visualisations using Google Maps check out the magnificent Mapnificent
