THREAD: Maps, Legends and Keys

Double meanings exist:

Legend
Guide

2) More double meanings exist:

Key
Door

Could a reference to "door of all doors" mean an opening to knowledge instead of a physical door?
3) When does a map become a legend?

Perhaps when a 'legend' was created to conceal a map?

Perhaps when a 'legend' IS the guide?
4) Snow White had 7 Dwarfs

Snow White = 1
Dwarfs = 7

1+7=8

Since [they] have a penchant for islands, thought I'd go digging for clusters of 8 islands.

"York's 8 Islands" caught my eye...

5) York's 8 Islands were named for William Clark's slave and "body servant", York.

Interestingly, York is claimed to have come from "Spirit Mound".. the land of the "Little People".

Hmmm... would these be dwarfs?
6) Is it a coincidence that York the slave "legend" had a map on his back?

When does a map become a legend?

[Think mirror].

Perhaps when the "legend" becomes the map?

Remind you of anyone?
7) Clark also named York's Dry Creek after this slave. This is now called "Custer's Creek".

Some interesting names surround that location...
8) Harlow : meaning: rock hill or army hill:

Shawmut meaning: place of clear waters [watch the water]

The most notable here is "Deadman's Basin".

Who knows where the bodies are buried?

Are they in a basin perhaps?
9) Do the words hidden in the wood of this tree mark a spot/location we should be looking into? X marks the spot?

There also appear to be many 'lookouts and lighthouses' in this region.
10) So "York's 8 Islands" is not found in a current map... here's what Lewis & Clark's map from 1805 looks like.

The names here sure are intriguing.
11) Ask yourself: If indeed the Snow White story merely conceals a map...

How many other maps are concealed in stories?
12) Now that you have a 'legend' [key], what doors will you open with it?

Is this the "door of all doors" that Potus opened?
