According to a Torajan legend, the Toraja people arrived "from the north by boats, but caught in a fierce storm, their boats were so badly damaged that they used them as roofs for their new houses" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongkonan

There are many maps I have a fable for, but this one is unquestionably the most graceful:
'A Burmese Map of the World, showing traces of Mediaeval European Map-making' (17th Century) instagram.com/p/CEyl0p0D7DJ/…
From 'The Thirty-Seven Nats — A Phase of Spirit-Worship prevailing in Burma' by William Griggs, chromo-lithographer to the king (London, 1906)
Another map I really hold dear is 'Squirrels highways' by Denis Wood.
'Nervous squirrels, afraid of an attack on the ground, use the phone and television cables as highways wherever the tree canopy’s broken' (From D. Wood's 'Everything Sings: Maps for a Narrative Atlas', 2010)
