A collection of historical maps. It features the maps that not only tell the history of North and South America, from the early exploration of the New World to Lewis and Clark's opening of the American West, but also bridge the gap between historical cartography and the technologically advanced applications of GIS.
Handsomely illustrated, this large-format, hardcover atlas brings together a collection of extraordinary historical maps, some of which have been uniquely enhanced with modern GIS technology, from the private collection of David Rumsey. The maps featured in ""Cartographica Extraordinaire"" not only tell the vivid history of North and South America, from the early exploration of the New World to Lewis and Clark's opening of the American West, but also bridge the gap between historical cartography and the technologically advanced applications of GIS.
