The Social Life of Maps in America, 1750-1860 - Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and the University of North Carolina Press
Martin Bruckner
In the age of GPS, we take cartographic literacy for granted. We should not; the ability to find meaning in maps is the fruit of a long process of exposure and instruction. A “carto-coded” America - a nation in which maps are pervasive and meaningful - had to be created. The Social Life of Maps tracks American cartography's spectacular rise to its unprecedented cultural influence.
