Strange Maps points us to an interesting collection of 577 “map backs” published by pulp magazine company Dell Publishing — illustrations that pinpoint exactly where incidents happened in famous detective novels published between 1943 and 1952. This one is from Alfred Hitchcok’s The Rope; other authors represented by Dell included Agatha Christie, Dashiell Hammett, and Lange Lewis.
