Instructions for Authors

The Western Association of Map Libraries Information Bulletin publishes feature articles, photoessays, asso-ciation business and selected news and notes related to all forms of cartographic information, including maps, spatial data, GIS, and all aspects of map librarianship. Articles are invited that will address the interests of the publications’ audience. Individuals are encouraged to submit unsolicited articles for consideration.

Length: Articles should be submitted to the Information Bulletin editor via email or on disk in either Micro-soft Word or ASCII text format. Submissions should be accompanied by a printed copy which is no more than 20 double-spaced printed pages. Do not include any special formatting, such as page breaks and indentations in the article. Paragraphs should be separated by two line breaks. When submitting articles on disk, please note the author(s) name(s), the word processing program, a brief title of your article and the file name(s) on the disk. Cartographic information is, for the most part, a visual medium, so illustrations should be included whenever possible. Note the approximate location of illustrations by inserting a separate sentence in the text of the article:

Insert Figure 1 Here

The Production Editor will place the image based on the text flow and page layout of the article.

Illustrations: Illustrations and graphic material should be submitted in scanner-ready or computer-readable form (gif, jpg or tiff). If it is absolutely impossible to submit scanned images, photographic prints and photocop-ies may be submitted. All photocopies, even copies of black and white illustrations, should be copied on a color copy machine, as they have a higher resolution than standard black and white copiers. Tables should be word processed and saved as a separate file on the disk.

References: References should be included in the text in Author Date format (Jones, 1998). References Cited should be listed at the end of the article in a separate section titled REFERENCES CITED. Citations should be listed alphabetically and written in Author Date style. References to web sites should be written:

Author’s Last Name, First Name, Month, Day & Year Updated. Title of the web site. <URL> (Date site ac-cessed).

Author Information: The author should include a brief title before the text of the article. Information about the author(s) should also be included: author’s name, position, address and e-mail address, if available.

Editing: The editors reserve the right to make minor copy-editing changes.

Acceptance of manuscripts: The WAML Information Bulletin editors reserve the right to accept or reject articles.

69 Nevada Highway Maps

At the WAML meeting in Chico a couple of years ago, I introduced our first digital map collection located on the UNR map library web page:

http://www.delamare.unr.edu/Maps/digitalcollections/nvmaps/

Since that time, the site has had numerous collection additions and enhanced presentation:

UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO, LIBRARYDIGITAL MAP COLLECTION: NEVADA HIGHWAY MAPS

Presented at the WAML Spring Conference,University of British Columbia, Vancouver

May 2006

Nevada Highway Maps

Today I would like to present our latest effort, the Nevada Highway map collection, a collection of 58 `official’ state highway maps, a state tourist map, and a half dozen commercially produced highway maps all dating from 1917 to 2003, although most are pre1960. The site describes the establishment of official roads in the state and the simultaneous development of the highway department.

http://www.delamare.unr.edu/Maps/digitalcollections/nvmaps/highway.html

To Western explorers, settlers and early miners, Nevada was a place to cross- as quickly as possible through severe deserts with little water or resources for man or beasts and steep mountains to block the fastest way to California or Oregon. Trails -- which often originated with Native Americans -- were established by trappers and explorers and reinforced by pioneers and wagon trains ever moving westward no matter the toll.

The first recognized route in Nevada was the Santa Fe Trail from Santa Fe to Los Angeles which crossed the southern tip of the state by the 1820’s and provided a resting place at the `Vegas’ springs. Fremont passed this way in 1844.

http://contentdm.library.unr.edu/cdm4/item_viewer_hmaps.php?CISOROOT=/hmaps&CISOPTR=1623&REC=3



Eventually the discovery of gold and silver first in California and then in Nevada encouraged enough westerners to pause and stay to form permanent settlements in the Great Basin and the basis for state-hood in 1864. In the 1860’s the Central Pacific Railroad, part of the first Transcontinental Railroad, passed through northern Nevada; soon the primary pioneer routes across the northern half of the state from SLC to CA were almost abandoned.

With the influence of the automobile on US society, highway development began in earnest at the beginning of the early 20th Century and eventually Interstate highways were built in the second half of the century.

*****************************However, prior to 1917, the state of Nevada had no formal plan to develop or improve or maintain roads. In order to take advantage of the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916, the state Legislature passed the State Highway Law in 1917 and the Department of Highways was created and the State Engineer began an active highway program with the $20,000 budget allocated. Four original state routes were established by that act. Prior to establishing this highway map site, we already had in our digital collection a draft map clearly delineating these original 4 official roads. After reading the text of the law I believe this to be a draft of those first roads although it is not labeled in any way.

http://contentdm.library.unr.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/hmaps&CISOPTR=2163&REC=1

Note that no roads go to LV… one of those `you-can’t-get-there-from-here’ situations; there was a train which had to be infinitely more enjoyable than auto, carriage or horse travel at that time!

72


Nevada Highway Maps

Despite limited progress for several years, in part because of the impact of World War I, the first of-ficial state highway map was issued in 1919.

http://contentdm.library.unr.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/hmaps&CISOPTR=565&REC=2

This signifies the faith of the state and the new Nevada Department of Highways in the future of road use at a time when mass travel was by train (especially in Nevada.) Although Las Vegas was not mentioned in the state law describing the paths of the original four routes, it is clearly on the routes of this first official map.

Note the usual information you expect on a highway map – towns, counties, a bar scale – although no distances indicated on the map itself- railroads, national forests, and Standard Parallels and latitude and longitude, but not much of a legend.

The Road Maps published by the state in 1919 and 1922 do not label roads with either name or num-ber.

To fund the roads across states with limited tax base, the 1921 federal act of `Graduated Scale of Federal Aid’ provided a much higher percent of financial assistance for Nevada – I think a case of tax base and the size of the state. The 1919 State Legislature authorized the issuing of highway bonds and in 1923 passed an act to tax gasoline for highway building. The genie was out of the bottle—

**********************

In 1926 the Joint Board of State and Federal Highway Officials numbered roads and the National Road or Victory Highway became U.S. Route 40/ Nevada State Route 1 and was eventually largely absorbed by Interstate 80.



The Lincoln Highway, a route so named in 1913 by the Lincoln Memorial Highway Association to promote east-west highway development, in Nevada became most of U.S. Route 50 in Nevada and State Route 2. Route 50 you may know as the `Loneliest Road in America’ with a wonderful guide-book done by the Nevada Bureau of Mines & Geology (NBMG).

Parts of the Santa Fe Trail of the 1820’s which Fremont used in 1844 across southern Nevada became The Arrowhead Trail and designated U.S. Highway 91, State Route 6 and eventually part of Interstate 15.

Maps were not published every year. The 1927 Nevada State Highway map was the standard map on the front with US routes indicated and a legend and driving instructions:

http://contentdm.library.unr.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/hmaps&CISOPTR=567&REC=6

The 1927 map also has a reverse side with distances from town to town along highways by the popu-lar highway names: Victory, Lincoln, Arrowhead, etc. along with a Digest of Motor Vehicle Laws and the admonition `This map must not be sold.’


74


Nevada Highway Maps

Among the other digital projects originating from our library are several photo collections. One is of historic photos along the Lincoln and Victory Highways in Nevada. It is our intention to link to ap-propriate pictures and other digital resources when relevant.

Route 50 out of Carson City, ca. 1927

The 1929 map reverse side gives names and numbers to primary state and federal routes along with distance information between towns and motor vehicle laws.




The 1932 map verso included not only mileage and Motor Vehicle Laws but enticing pictures across the state reflecting an attitude to attract people to various parts of the state.


Multiple colors on the primary map became the norm by 1936 along with `Points of Interest’ and `NV Facts’ in addition to mileage chart on the reverse.


76


Nevada Highway Maps

Color pictures were included by 1940.


Early tradition made highway maps free; the 1927 edition in this collection states: This map must not be sold. The 1933 edition states: For Free Distribution Only, a condition which continues today.

As the impact of highways on the state grew so did the responsibilities of the Department of High-ways which had become the largest state agency and included the fledgling State Highway Patrol. The State Highway Engineer who was head of the Dept. of Highways, was also superintendent ex-officio of the state park system and, as of 1941, administrator of the Drivers License Division. The Depart-ment assumed responsibility for road and tourist information and erection of road markers along U.S. roads. The state magazine Nevada Highways and Parks began in 1936 and continues today as Nevada Magazine under the Department of Tourism.

**********************************

With the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1954 and another in 1956 authorizing the national interstate highway system, Nevada benefited considerably in road-building, but not until 1986 did the U.S. Department of Transportation award contracts to complete the interstate system in Nevada. 1969 - incomplete Interstate 80:




Today this state is still a cross-road for traffic and commerce, but it is also a major tourist draw for the country, for the world. People are now able to enjoy, not just survive, the roads and trails of Nevada.

The Behind-the-Scene Technical Apects

http://www.delamare.unr.edu/maps/digitalcollections/nvmaps/about.html

The `About the Collections’ page provides the background of the development of the digital map collection – the original effort was presented at the WAML Chico conference a couple of years ago . And we have a lot more to add--

The `Site Information’ http://www.delamare.unr.edu/maps/digitalcollections/nvmaps/siteinfo.htmlprovides the technical details including the scanning > most of which was done by our own staff. There are a couple of exceptions.

You will note the project team on the upper right corner of the Site Information page. My efforts are in the creative idea of the collection(s) > what do we want to offer, identifying collections or maps to be included – and that has included going drawer by drawer through collections such as those at the Nevada State Historical Society, the UNR Library Special Collections, the State Library and Archives map collection, and most recently the maps in Virginia City at the Storey County Clerk’s office – that’s the Comstock. They are storing most of the county map collection in the 100+ year old jail portion of this historic building which the federal gov’t made them recently abandon (as a jail) because the conditions were considered unfit – but good enough to store maps in!

Most of the time, I also am responsible for getting the maps scanned and in the past this meant trans-porting the maps to Carson City and paying for the service in the State Micrographics Office. Thanks to help from the endowment set up by my predecessor Mary Ansari and her husband, we were able to purchase the IDEAL/Contex Magnum XL 54” Plus Color Scanner which went into use at the begin-ning of 2004 to scan any maps which we actually handle – and that is most of the digital collection on our site. You can read the full technical information from this page.

We feel the `value added’ in our digital map presentations is a significant part of our effort.

Regarding this Highway Map collection, through a contact on the NV State Geographic Names Board, I received a digital collection of Nevada state highway maps from 1919-2003; our contribu-tion is in the `value added.’

(1) we enhanced the set by including other highway or road maps from our digital collection, (2) we provide a summary of the history of roads in our state and the evolution of the State High-

way Dept. (writing this was part of my contribution), (3) we offer several files including tiff, jpeg, and Djvu, a greatly reduced file which people with

limited connectivity can use(4) eventually a georeferrenced tiff image in NAD83, UTM, Zone 11, rectified using ERDAS

79 Review of Atlases, Books and Digital Resources

A note from the Book Review Editor: In this issue, all of our book reviews come from grad-uate students at the University of Oregon. While you might be thinking this is a convenience sample of reviewers, my inten-tion was to introduce a set of voices that we do not often hear in the professional literature: our readers. Since I started in the geography program here at the UO, I have learned more from my classmates about how the library gets used than I ever could have sitting in my library organizing my maps and data. Our regular cast of reviewers, and Publications Received will return in the next issue. –Jon

Akerman, J. (ed.). Cartogra-phies of Travel and Naviga-tion. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006. 344 p. $55.00. ISBN: 0-226-01074-0

Cartographies of Travel and Navigation presents a collec-tion of six essays which focus on travel and navigational map-ping across different methods of travel: road, sea, rail, and air. This compilation promises to begin scratching the sur-face of the “largely unwritten

narrative” of mapping’s role in historical accounts of travel and transportation (p. 11). The book avoids merely inserting infor-mation about cartography into historical accounts. It places the cartographers, the map us-ers, and the maps themselves at the center of its inquiries and chronological accounts. Largely a collection of histories, the contributors rely methodologi-cally upon archival research of letters, maps, charts, brochures and other documents to build their narratives. The volume provides an accessible account of key actors’ roles in map cre-ation, as well as descriptions of how maps were used for specific purposes, and how and why this changed in specific contexts.

Akerman notes key limitations and biases of this compilation: namely the volume’s primary attention towards British and American cartography and the near constancy of cultural con-text. Two contributors (Musich and Akerman) do note, however, specific topical areas where their research could benefit from the historical accounts and perspec-tives of a more diverse group of individuals.

Delano-Smith’s essay represents the volume’s most substantial effort towards debunking histo-

rians’ erroneous assumptions concerning how and whether travelers used particular maps and collections. In her ac-count of maps in the European Middle Ages, “Milieus of mo-bility: itineraries, route maps, and road maps,” she notes, for example, the impracticality of carrying large volumes such as John Ogilby’s Britannia. Drawing from other scholar’s accounts as well as her own findings, she emphasizes the absence of evidence for previ-ous claims of travelers cutting maps out of volumes such as these, thus calling into question previous assumptions about the likely use of maps in this form as wayfinding aids. She also emphasizes the role certain maps played in assisting early scholars such as Matthew Paris in making spiritual pilgrim-ages without physically travel-ing. Delano-Smith also warns cartographers not to ignore the most common aids to wayfind-ing in the Middle Ages: simple itineraries.

pivotal sea currents and land features as an aid to ships making the perilous trade journeys between England and India. Though an inter-esting account of Darymple’s struggle to acquire data and systematize spatial knowledge gained from captain’s logs and other sources for establishing sea trade routes, this chapter offered few visual examples. The maps and charts included in the chapter were hindered by their small scale and poor photographic quality (see for example, Figure 3.6). A larger page size for the volume as a whole would have made these images more meaningful and captivating for the reader.

Jerry Musich’s chapter, “Map-ping a transcontinental na-tion: Nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American rail travel cartography,” and Akerman’s chapter, “Twen-tieth-century American road maps and the making of national motorized space,” serve as the primary source of theoretical and written strength in the volume. Mu-sich demonstrates how the map publishing industry and the railway industry produced maps that actively encouraged westward migration and tour-ism across North America, by deemphasizing features in the landscape which would dis-courage such journeys (such as mountain ranges, vast distanc-es and impassable landcover types). The center section of

the volume offers glossy color plates as an important visual supplement, primarily for the Musich and Akerman chapters. These two essays address con-nected cartographic themes due to their tied American cultural histories. One of Akerman’s core arguments is that oil companies’ mass production of free maps, which included advertisements and displays of the locations of service stations became a catalyst for map production in the United States. This chapter is particu-larly well written and describes cartographic methods, map use, and the maps themselves in copi-ous detail.

Ralph Ehrenberg purposively links these previous chapters with his own essay by describ-ing some of the railroad and road map cartographic methods drawn upon for aerial navigation maps and charts. Ehrenberg me-thodically describes the different aviation maps and charts used by pilots and others tied to aviation until the late 1920s, when the nature and need for such maps transformed with significant changes in flying technology. A table listing the various types of charts and maps and their prima-ry years of use would have been a helpful visual aid for readers of this essay, which is otherwise extremely well argued and orga-nized. Robert French’s brief essay, “Maps on wheels: The evolution of automobile navigation,” ends the volume with an account of the many experiments in navi-

gational systems from early odometers to the present day in-vehicle units that utilize GPS. French’s use of diagrams in describing these different navigational systems eluci-dated their functionality and design. The chapter divides the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) by geographic region based on a reference to competition between Europe, the United States, and Japan in the de-velopment of these technolo-gies. Though useful for adding structure to the essay, French’s argument for presenting ITS in this way could have been more compelling, as the linkages between these regions of ITS development under functional sub-themes might prove more telling of the history of ITS.

This book offers a well-writ-ten and researched contribution to histories of cartography in transportation and naviga-tion. Historians, geographers, cartographers, philosophers of society and technology and others in related disciplines, as well as the lay historical map enthusiast will find the volume interesting and informative. There is a need, however, to further expand these initial lines of inquiry into a wider cultural and regional spectrum in the future.

Jacob, Christian. The Sover-eign Map: Theoretical Ap-proaches in Cartography Throughout History. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006. 416 p. $60.00. ISBN: 0-226-38953-7. Originally Published as L’empire des cartes: Approaches theorique de la cartographie a travers l’histoire, 1992.

This translation of Christian Jacob’s L’empire des cartes provides English reading audi-ences with a much anticipated work on cartographic history and theory. Pulling from the writing of Harley and Wood-ward, the text must certainly be an influence on the writings of current cartographic historians and theorists such as Monmo-nier and Cosgrove. Jacob does not approach the subject as a geographer or cartographic historian, thus he is able to elucidate the reader to ques-tions that must be asked by all users, readers and lovers of maps without being limited by a specific approach.

It is Jacob’s stated goal that The Sovereign Map is meant to present the disparate threads

of cartographic history and theory in a “suggestive foray” instead of coming to what could be premature conclusions. The first chapter, “What is a map?,” represents the approach of deconstructing each aspect of a map to make a more inten-sive probe into what exactly a map is and what it does. By the end of the chapter the question seems more difficult to answer. Fortunately, it also seems more interesting. This pattern of presenting questions and ap-proaches, and not conclusions, is repeated throughout the work.

Jacob’s discussion of the vi-sual components of the map is informed by a wealth of sourc-es; including Roland Barthes work on semiology, language and myth (The title of Jacob’s original French, L’empire des Cartes, appears to be a nod to Barthes L’empire des Signes). The codes of objectivity (grids, rhumb lines, symbolization, legends, toponymy, thematic representations, titles, etc.) are looked at individually and ex-amined from every angle in The Sovereign Map. The codes and rhetoric used by the cartogra-pher are taken off of the ‘ob-jective’ plane of the map, and placed into the context of their time and place of creation, thus raising further questions about the relationship between map creator, map user, and subject. Jacob presses us to attend to the contradictions presented by maps.

Maps in this book range from

ancient to modern. There are 11 color plates which are all used as specific examples within the book. There are also a number of halftones and line drawings which also help demonstrate the arguments presented. The figures add to discussion and are well selected for their content. However, the maps are almost exclusively European in origin. Jacob admits this flaw in his preface to the English lan-guage edition as well as in the original French introduction. It was simply beyond the scope of this project to deconstruct the cultural and social context of maps from non-European cultures.

Anyone interested in how the theory of the history of cartog-raphy was shifting in the late 1980s would find a wealth of information in Jacob’s writing. In his preface Jacob writes that “the map and the library are icons of knowledge”, adding that both rely on accumulation, on tradition, and on authority. Both serve to organize and cod-ify knowledge. This work has a place in the library of anyone interested in the ways in which maps have informed, and been informed by, the cultural context of the presenter and receiver of information through cartographic representation.

Monmonier, Mark. From Squaw Tit to Whorehouse Meadow: How Maps Name, Claim, and Inflame. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006. 215 p. $25.00. ISBN: 0-226-53465-0.

The names of places, how they are represented and who op-poses them are an illustrative way to demonstrate changing values of society. Throughout the history of mapping, places and their names have been contested by groups who were dominated and marginalized. In the more recent past, espe-cially as political correctness has emerged in the United States, names such as Whore-house Meadow (in Central Oregon) and Jewtown (in Georgia) have drawn criticism from people who oppose these derogatory names imprinted on the landscape.

Building on previous work, Mark Monmonier’s latest book, From Squaw Tit to Whorehouse Meadowe, il-lustrates how maps, the tools of geography that we so often take for granted, are not neu-tral and unbiased. Indeed, they are not even consistent tools: this book’s discussion about

a quest for state, national and even international Gazetteers illustrates how some maps omit information that might seem offensive or even chose one version of a name over another. Monmonier creates his argument by taking a temporal approach to place names. Examples in the United States, especially the American West, range from the use of ‘squaw’ (a deroga-tory word meaning ‘vagina’) to ‘Negro’ (and older versions of that offensive term) in names on the land.

But Monmonier moves on from the more shocking epitaphs on the North American continent and broadens his analysis to not only the Hawaiian Islands, but to other areas of the world. Espe-cially in colonized countries, the imposed English versions of names cover the landscape, illustrating yet another way that Europeans have left their imprint on the world. Is it Mt. McKin-ley or Denali? Is it Hawaii or Hawai‘i? Disputes rage about the renaming of places by the Turks on Cyprus, thus erasing the Greek presence. The nam-ing of the East Sea (or Sea of Japan) is contentious for people living in the Koreas and China, because the Japanese version of that name is associated with their invasions of these countries on mainland Asia. These names, their spelling, and their pro-nunciation are integral to how people define themselves and their place. The conflicts over these names therefore reflect

intense personal and national interests and can become highly charged.

The power of this book is that it can be used as a provocative stepping stone into the issue of identity and place. To make it a more critical look at place nam-ing, Monmonier might have expanded on how much these names are linked to identity, local or otherwise, and pres-ent a discussion of why names inflame. Monmonier briefly touched upon this issue dur-ing discussions about Cyprus and the East Sea/ Sea of Japan, among others, but a deeper dis-cussion could link place names to identity, helping to illustrate and explain the passion that these names can ignite. Be-cause maps are a representation of how we view the world, this approach allows us to see how are changing values and power dynamics are illustrated on the landscape.

This book is an easy and enter-taining read for a person new to the subject of maps and pres-ents many examples (maps in-cluded!) of the ways that names inflame. For people interested in the politics of mapping, this book is very provocative as it can be used as a springboard for a variety of deeper discus-sions. This book would well grace the shelves of any library. I highly recommend it (and already have my students read-ing excerpts) because of the intriguing questions presented



about the maps and the names on the landscape that we often take for granted.

Robinson, Michael F. The Coldest Crucible: Arctic Exploration and American Culture. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006. 200p. $39.00. ISBN: 0-226-72184-1

In The Coldest Crucible: Arc-tic Exploration and American Culture, Michael Robinson weaves together geographic exploration and human ge-ography in telling the tale of American Arctic exploration during the 19th and 20th cen-turies. The author fulfills his stated purpose: to situate Arc-tic exploration in the context of American culture in order to gain new insight into the ways that changes in the American social climate impacted the perception, support, and recep-tion of Arctic explorers and expeditions. Robinson illus-trates the chronologic changes in the attitudes of Americans towards Arctic exploration by incorporating into his analysis: American military and com-mercial aims; the symbolic in-

fluence of exploration on Ameri-can reputation and identity; the challenge of balancing appeals to both scientific and popular audiences; the significance of the perceived character and manli-ness of explorers; conceptions of ‘savage’ and ‘civilized’; the implications of ‘modernity’ and ‘progress’; American reactions to consumerism and material-ism; media focus on disaster and scandal; and the influence of geographers and funding sourc-es. By describing the changing criteria by which explorers were judged during the 1800s and 1900s, the author illuminates the ways in which various Arctic explorers catered to their ever fluxing American audiences. These explorers include Elisha Kent Kane, Isaac Hayes, Charles Hall, Adolphus Greeley, Walter Wellman, Robert Peary, and Frederick Cook.

The book not only treats the intersection of geographic ex-ploration and human geography, but also contextualizes Arctic exploration within scholarly geographic inquiry and attitudes of the time. The positions of such geographers as Alexander von Humboldt, William Morris Davis, and John Paul Goode, as well as the influence of the American Geographical Society (AGS), the National Geographic Society, and the Association of American Geographers (AAG), contribute to the story. However, Robinson makes little use of what may be considered the fun-damental tool of the discipline of geography: the map. Only

one map is included in the book: A.J. Johnson’s 1866 map representing the geographical understanding of North Ameri-ca, Greenland, and the Arctic at that time (p. 23). While making repeated references to various landmarks, the author includes no cartographic representation of the current understanding of the region. Inclusion of a spatial depiction would have helped readers to better under-stand the goals of exploration, as well as the misconceptions of each era of exploration. Al-though Robinson’s The Coldest Crucible: Arctic Exploration and American Culture does not employ much cartography or forward research in that field, the book does deliver a new and more complex under-standing of the interaction of American culture with Arctic exploration. Library collections would most certainly benefit from the addition of this work.

Scafi, Alessandro. Mapping Paradise: A History of Heaven on Earth. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006. 400 p. $55.00. LC: 2005055973 ISBN: 0-226-73559-1



Medieval maps have long been presented as the child-hood stage of what would later mature into scientific mapping. Nineteen-century historians “preoccupied with notions of scientific progress” brushed aside their predecessors for failing to create “objective representations” of the earth. At best they could be seen as works of art, though mostly as primitive artifacts of a super-stitious age. Alessandro Scafi is betting that today’s viewer recognizes the difference between maps that “represent aspects of the physical world and of entities that can be experienced (‘phenomenon-representations’), and of maps that depict an abstract idea about reality, or even about any alternative reality that the human mind can devise (‘concept-representations’).” (p. 27) Despite the seeming post-modernist trappings of the last statement, it is a key concept of medieval cartogra-phy, which combined biblical knowledge with empirical ob-servation. Scafi’s book tempts us to disregard the modernist viewpoint along with most familiar cartographic conven-tions. He includes nearly two hundred images, a good num-ber in color. They are situated in an entertaining narrative explaining the reasons for the depiction of paradise on maps and how such a place at once on earth, but not of it, can be presented.

Focusing on the western Eu-

ropean Christian tradition, Scafi tells us to approach these prod-ucts as a “foreign country that can be visited and understood, and as a different system with its own internal consistency: a car-tographical and calendrical sys-tem with a logic that worked for people who measured space and time differently from ourselves.” (p. 28) Ideas like mathematical scaling were never considered, because the maps were not used for navigation and land travel, but to understand natural pro-cesses and human history, which in both cases generally meant Biblical history. Religious con-vention read Genesis literally. It said that mankind was born in an earthly paradise, which physical-ly existed, is earthly, yet heaven-ly, and is inaccessible to people today (the flaming sword of the cherubim is perhaps blocking entry). None of these charac-teristics contradicted the Bible, natural science, or each other, but when we try depicting such a place on a single page world map in a way that is comprehen-sible to the viewer, we come to a familiar dilemma. We also come to the area where medieval maps may have the most to teach us.

Cartographers struggling with a satisfactory way to map time, may be interested in the par-ticularly historical slant of the medieval mappa mundi. Where-as the modern age is marked by a “small” world and endless time, medieval people saw the distant lands as an unknown, while time had a clearly defined beginning and end. (p. 128-129)

Furthermore, neither space nor time were clearly defined. The standard practice for cartogra-phers was to combine time and space to depict the progression of history. Places existed as locations for historical events identified by recognizable buildings, icons, or creatures. Maps were oriented, naturally, to the east, which was up. Up was also the direction of the past. The starting point is consistently at Eden, the oldest and easternmost point, placed at the top. Movement follows a Christian axis of historical events, westward to the tower of Babel in Babylon, Noah’s ark in Armenia, and the Cru-cifixion in Jerusalem. Con-temporary events were shown in western Europe. Scafi provides dozens of examples of such maps. The icon for paradise, probably the most problematic point, varies. The Vercelli map (132) from ca. 1200 simply shows a small square near the top of the map with a cross at the center and a double outline evoking a wall. Its emptiness, contrasted with the text covering the rest of the map, gives it prominence. The Evesham map from ca. 1400 (137) , superimposes an inset, depicting the Fall dramatically, which is so large that it extends beyond the bounds of the map suggesting physical and tem-poral distance so great, it is just barely on earth. Others were more subtle, only drawing the four rivers mentioned in Genesis leading to this round



planet’s edge.

Many maps tell an elaborate narrative relying on the pre-sumably uneducated viewer’s understanding of the elaborate space-time relationships de-picted. The Hereford map, ca. 1300, again locates a walled earthly paradise at the eastern apex, this time as an island. Jerusalem, recognizable by a crucifix, is navel of the world and starting point of the Church’s eschatological time. Dominating the map from above is the second or heav-enly paradise, where we see the second coming of Christ. Scafi notes that the progres-sion from the garden to Jeru-salem was relatively simple due to the standard Christian space-time axis, which would have been familiar to anyone. The progression from Jerusa-lem to the Second Coming has been depicted in various ways. In this case, the position of Jesus immediately above the earthly paradise suggests that this walled paradise, lost since Adam’s sin can be regained by way of Jerusalem and the sacrifice of Christ.

Alessandro Scafi’s book offers far more than just a survey of medieval European mapping. It serves that purpose well, albeit narrowly. While many of his examples may not be practical models for the con-temporary world, they show us how new information can be revealed when we look be-yond the traditional mathemat-

ically scaled map. Rethinking our understanding of time and space, which is newer and more fluid than most would believe, opens us up to new mapping op-portunities, particularly outside the physical world. Scafi takes us all the way to the present day, but focuses on the period before about 1500, after which changes in theology along with changes in mapping practices pushed paradise off of the contemporary images, though it remained on historical ones. Later, Newto-nian physics gave stricter defini-tions to space and time. With the growing rigidity of dimen-sions and increasing limitations on what could be mapped, one can’t help but feel that The Fall began with the Enlightenment.

Members of the Month

Linda Newman (Nov.-Dec. 2006)

Where did you go to college?I have a BA in International Studies, U. South Carolina, a BS in Geography – U. Nevada, and my MLS is from Indiana University, Bloomington.

Where was your first job work-ing with maps?The Government Documents Department, at the University of Nevada Reno (UNR) Library, in the last Millennium.

Do you have a favorite map?I love historic maps – older the better. Saw the Mappa Mundi in Hereford when visiting Bar-bara & Dave Haner a couple of years ago. I love to look at print shops when I travel, especially out of the US – the best souve-nir of a trip is a map.

What’s the most fun you ever had at a WAML conference?That’s a hard one! SO many great memories! Regarding a specific event? Well, it’s a toss up between the first Hawaii conference field trip where we saw flowing lava up very close

by going to the site at 2am and the WAML/ ACMLA volleyball game at UBC – natch’ WAML won 2 games to 3!

What do you like to do when you aren’t being a map librarian?Hike, rafting, travel, being “Grandma Linda.” What book(s) are you reading these days?When it comes to fiction -- which I save to read on air-planes -- the last 2 this year were Timeline and State of Fear by Michael Crichton. The State of Fear was a rather interesting take on global warming. Also I never miss a Ken Follett or Hill-erman book .

Non-fiction: researched a bunch this year on PLSS for new web site. Also, while it’s not a book, I read my National Geographic.

What is your least favorite thing to do at work?The &^%$$%! personal an-nual report.

And what’s your favorite thing to do at work?Help people find the maps or other materials they need.

Julie Hoff (Jan.-Feb. 2007)

Where did you go to college?I went to the University of Denver for a BA in Anthropol-ogy and Geography, Arizona State University for grad an-thropology classes and finally University of Arizona for an MLS. Yes, I finished!

Where was your first job work-ing with maps?I started as a Library Assis-tant in the Map Collection at Arizona State University and worked for Rosanna Miller, another famous WAMLite.

Do you have a favorite map?Bradford Washburn’s gorgeous Mt. McKinley and Mt. Everest maps and the new Benchmark Colorado Atlas. The atlas is a blast!! Who knew there were ashrams in the San Luis Val-ley? I didn’t!

What’s the most fun you ever had at a WAML conference?That’s a tough one! Eureka in ’96 where we “walked” across Eurasia at 1:500K and hiked among the Redwoods was amazing. And Alaska in ’05, especially hiking around Won-der Lake and Toklat Flats.


99 News of Note

What do you like to do when you aren’t being a map librar-ian?Lots of things, depending on the time! In no particular order: bike riding, hiking, reading, yoga and being a total plant geek, though you’d never guess from the state of my yard.

What book(s) are you reading these days?I’m nearly finished with Anne Applebaum’s Gulag: A History and have started The President, the Pope, and the Prime Min-ister by John O’Sullivan and The Letters of John and Abigail Adams.

What is your least favorite thing to do at work?Dealing with unexpected software upgrades. That just harshes my mellow!

And what’s your favorite thing to do at work?Any kind of historical research with patrons, and my own research for the state names board.

Could you tell us a little about your work with the Board on Geographic Names?As the one person staff support and researcher for the Arizona State Board on Geographic and Historic Names, I “get” to do practically everything but vote! I receive geographic name proposals from the public, do additional research and prepare dockets for board members, edit minutes, manage corre-spondence with local and tribal

governments and the federal names board regarding propos-als – it’s a lot. The best part is getting to work with my research counterparts at the US Board on Geographic Names and attend-ing their annual conference.

How’s your husband doing in Afghanistan, and when will he be home?Jim is a platoon sergeant in the Arizona National Guard 1/285th Apache Attack Helicopter Bat-talion based in Marana. He’s in charge of refueling operations for anything that NATO flies. The battalion was deployed to Afghanistan in January and should be back sometime next February. So far, so good. I rather envy him being able to see huge mountains covered in snow by day and really DARK skies at night.

Could WAMLites send him a postcard of their campuses?Sure, that’s a great idea! I’d be happy to send Jim’s APO ad-dress to anyone who would like to send a post card.

Benchmarks

UCSD has a new map librarian Mike Smith recently began as UCSD’s Map Librarian, fill-ing the map librarian position vacated by WAML founding member Larry Cruse. Mike came from Northwestern University where he was the Maps and State Documents Librarian for almost 10 years.

Megan Dreger, Head of Data, Government & Geographic Information Services at UCSD, reports: “In addition to his MLS from Syracuse University, Mike also has an MA in Geography from the University of Ver-mont. We are very pleased to have Mike on board! He can be reached at [email protected].”

University of Hawaii has a new GIS/Maps SpecialistSalim Mohammed joined the Government Documents and Maps Department staff of the University of Hawaii at Manoa Library on February 15. He is a recent graduate of the School of Library and Infor-mation Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison and he also holds a Master of Science in Geography from UW-Madi-son and a Master of Business Administration, University fo Maine-Orono. He is our new GIS/Maps specialist and we are looking forward to his arrival.

Plats of Nevada State LandsIt is my great pleasure (and

relief) to bring to your attention our latest creation: 3000+ historic plats of Nevada. The detail to be found on them is incredible and proved very useful from the CD’s long, long before we got them on our site. This project took 2 years by State Lands to scan and 2 years for me and the tech folks to do our end in producing the site and, if I may say so, I’m quite thrilled.http://www.delamare.unr.edu/Maps/digitalcollections/nvmaps/plats/Default.htm --Linda Newman
