In #418 Steve (styopa_at_iname.com) says about flying map-makers:

Why fly, when (assuming you are in with the Storm Bull crowd) you can hike up the handy spiral pathway of Stormwalk Mountain to gain whatever perspective you need for map-making? Wintertop would be even better, were it not for the constant cloud cover. I would also think that Lunar cartographers, working from the Red Moon, would have gone over the entire Empire in fine detail, but I believe in huge gymbol-mounted Yelm dials and other odd things.
