Page Title Maps are colorful, eye-catching primary source documents that capture the progress of human thought and achievement in a magnificent way. Cartographers record the ebb and flow of politics, the history of nations, the evolution of settlement and the path of scientific and mathematical thought, all with artistic flourish.
Maps can enrich lessons in almost any academic discipline.
History students can piece together a story of political conquest, race a landmark expedition, or see their town develop over time. Historic maps provide the basis for creative writing assignments. Math students can calculate distances and science, geography, and geology classes can study the characteristics of a specific topography.
