The Burning Man festival is held in the Nevada desert and is a . . . well, apparently it requires an essay to esplain what it is. BoingBoing hosts some maps of Burning Man, including a hand-drawn one that would take some time to read. Other maps include the Google Maps version (the satellite image looks pretty cool) and others. Looks like there is a pretty enthusiatic mapping community (not necessarily professional) attending Burning Man this year. It will be interesting to see what comes out of this unique community mapping effort.

Byh way of the Map Room and BoingBoing.
