Playing Around

Playing around with Google Maps and finding places in Wellington and overlaying maps from places named the same. I lived in Wilton in Wellington last year so made a map combining Wilton in Wellington with Wilton in Alabama and Wilton in Wiltshire as well as a map of Wellington overlaid with a map of Wellington in Somerset, UK. I could be playing around for years doing this, but it does show up how settlers chose to name places and ignoring the indigenous peoples names of places, which often provide a more descriptive view or connected with a person or event.
