badged for research into historical maps of Canada

So far just Veen and me got the bits of historical map of Canada letters "N" and "L" --

Also, we might be the only two who normally live in the not-USA.

and I might be the only one who normally lives in Canada

Also veen is probably headed to Calgary next year to study urban planning

Also Veen's "N" could stand for Netherlands

Also it's been really cold all over, hence the puzzle pieces of the far north, Baffin Island and the Arctic circle.

Thanks! Quite fun to research this, I always enjoy a good puzzle. But don't forget that it's nowaypablo's letter and not mine. I just took the chance to find the ostensibly obscure map that ref has used.

Also, in good news, I received confirmation yesterday that I got through the selection process and that I will go to Calgary this fall. Very excited for that!

Any lines or shapes you can work out from your letter that might help deduce where it is?

hmmmm, you mean noway's letter was an "N"?

(humanodon) Enrico's letter was an "E" lil's letter was an "L" codingvagrant's "V" could be for vagrant

I wonder whether fishontheplate's name starts with "A" or if "A" is just for the a in plate Yossarian's "N" ??

Here's my hypothesis:

V Vagrant)

A (fishonaplate's actual first name)

L (Lil)

E (Enrico)

N (YossariaN)

T (Taylor - Insomniasexx)

I (whIte?)

N (Noway)

E (Æsthetikx?)

My first name does start with an "a". I assumed that was what it stood for, but you could be right with "plAte"

Mine was a T. T is the first letter of my real first name.
