As Stranger Things returns for its final season we're diving into the real-world geography behind the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. Using vintage maps from our Atlas & I archive, we explore the Midwestern landscapes that may have inspired the show's setting!

Created just twelve years before the Gunpowder Plot, John Norden’s 1593 map of Westminster offers a remarkable glimpse into Tudor London, a world of marshes, manor houses and winding lanes that Guy Fawkes himself would soon walk. Hand-drawn long before satellites or drones, it captures the very heart of the city on the brink of history.

Our walk along Spain’s incredible Caminito del Rey was an unforgettable mix of history, adventure, and breathtaking scenery. Once known as one of the world’s most dangerous paths, this cliffside walkway near El Chorro has been beautifully restored. Guided by Visit & Do Andalucia, we explored 7km of spectacular gorge views before returning home to study our vintage Spanish maps - tracing where The King’s Little Path first began.
