Gretchen Peterson's City Maps: A Coloring Book for Adults provides maps of 44 major cities around the world for plannerds to color in to their heart's content.

But first things first: Can you identify those blank maps?

The Guardian challenges you to try with ten (pre-colored) images from the book, which is based on data from OpenStreetMap. The maps are pretty bare-bones—but a few iconic layouts are still instantly recognizable. Reward yourself with some coloring time for every guess you get right.
