Thanks Erik! Sweet!
If you want it bigger (;-) with notes about the sites, as well as the
terrain, road names, communities and terrain combined:

Obviously the creator of this map is not a Pynchon fan; if he was, the
bursts would be push-pins, but one DeanN wrote in the comments:
"Anybody interested in the V2 rocket attacks over London should read
Gravity´s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon, which takes such an attack as its
opening scene and spirals out into a several hundred-page story from there,
concerning (among other things) a secret Army plan to utilise a American GI
whose ejactulations as he works his way around the loose women of London are
capable, it is believed, of predicting the landing sites of the missiles.
It´s fiction, sure, but Pynchon is reknowned as a master and obsessive over
detail and there´s plenty about the science behind the rockets and the
affect on the population of the day. Were the guy not a well-known recluse
he´d probably rank as one of the world´s foremost experts."
