Title A name given to the resource National Narratives in Pictorial Maps, 1929-1939 Description An account of the resource This collection explores American pictorial maps from the 1930s. Their modes of representation and their content may differ, but they all represent an attempt at shaping and responding to contemporary national identity. Depicted beside and beneath the map's ostensible themes (food, natural resources, American history), is more subliminal messaging about race and American identity. The aesthetics of the maps vary, but they all depict the United States in approximately the same scale and style.&nbsp; <p>In my project, I hope to explore the arguments these maps were making. Further questions include: why was there an uptick in pictorial map making in this time? More broadly, how does the form of these pictorial maps relate to their function? What does the publishing power behind these maps -- one map was privately published, two were published by large food companies -- mean? How do these maps fit in to the larger historiographical discussion on the creation and consumption of culture during the 1930s? What is the connection to the Great Depression?</p> Still Image A static visual representation. Examples include paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type Text to images of textual materials.

Title A name given to the resource Map of the Gifts of Nature to America Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kellogg Company Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived David Rumsey Historical Map Collection Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Kellogg Company Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1934 Description An account of the resource This 1934 pictorial map was created by the Kellogg Company. The titular "Gifts of Nature" refers to agricultural plenty, but the map also depicts historical sites, industry, and Native American tribes. Also shown are railroad lines, migration routes, and recreation. Insets on both sides of the map, as well as near the Great Lakes, connect these "gifts" to the development of the Kelloggs Company. The narrative begins with Native Americans, then depicts the original home of Kelloggs, then moves on to facts about the company's industrial prowess as well as a picture of the enormous Kellogg plant. The trajectory of this narrative advances an argument for progress and success: white dominance, homegrown business, and industrialization. This narrative is supported by imagery throughout the map, as when Native American tribes are represented by tomahawks. Additionally, large labels throughout the map define swathes of land by their agricultural output: "The Heart of the Corn Country," "The Land of Cotton," etc. This indicates that the land itself has a destiny: to support the American people (specifically, through their consumption of Kelloggs!). Interestingly, the only human forms depicted are those of cowboys in the southwest. Of the maps in this collection, this is the one that advances the most explicit commercial argument.

Title A name given to the resource Chinese Qing Empire's Mapping of the Northwestern Border Description An account of the resource This collection is a series of Chinese Qing Empire (1644-1911)’s maps on its north-western borderline from the 18th century to 19th century. These maps show how the Qing Empire manipulated power on the newly conquered territory and how the Empire gradually failed its competition on territory with the Russian Empire (1721–1917). The time span of this collection covers the period of transformation in late imperial China: Western ideas and techniques were introduced, and the Chinese court and literati gradually tried to assimilate them into traditional framework of knowledge. The case of maps and cartography was no exception. In my final project, I plan to explore how the court and literati used and perceived maps.

Title A name given to the resource Map of the Track of the Tornado of April 30th 1852 Description An account of the resource This map shows what is referred to as the first scientific study of a tornado’s path and the first conclusive proof that tornadoes are an inward, upward, and onward moving column of air. In his article, Chappelsmith notes that people living five miles north of the storm continued to plough their fields during the whole time. The tornado’s track was one mile wide and sped from New Harmony to Leavenworth in 1.5 hours, averaging sixty miles per hour and toppling trees at the rate of seven thousand per minute. Primarily based on his detailed examination of these prostrated trees left in the storm’s wake, he concludes that the “phenomena are incompatible with the rotary hypothesis. . . . I am inclined to believe in Professor Espy’s idea of an ascensional column . . .” [pp. 10–11].

Title A name given to the resource Wallace's Line Description An account of the resource This collection displays snapshots of the career of Alfred Russel Wallace. Best known for his simultaneous discovery of evolution with Charles Darwin, Wallace is also notable for pioneering the discipline of biogeography. The maps in this collection show the arc of his career in exploration and theory related to the distributions of animal species. Wallace was trained as a railway surveyor before beginning his career in natural history, and mapping was a crucial part of his scientific thinking. The prelude to his essay describing the mechanism of natural selection was one describing how similar species arise coincident in space and time. His work on evolution was central to his career, but so too was his work delineating how different groups of species occupied different parts of the world. This collection features maps produced for Wallace's publications which visualize his process of creating geographical divisions based on animal life.

Title A name given to the resource Map to Illustrate a Paper on the Physical Geography of the Malay Archipelago by Alfred Russel Wallace, Esq. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived On the physical geography of the Malay Archipelago Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Royal Geographic Society Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1863 Description An account of the resource This map was published in 1863 in a paper by Wallace on the physical geography of the Malay Archipelago. It is the first map marking Wallace's line, here labelled as dividing the "Indo-Malay Region" from the "Austro-Malay Region". This line proposed by Wallace is the first ever deliberately-charted geographical division based on faunal differences between regions. His reasoning behind drawing a division between the groups of animals living in Asia and Australia at this location is described in an earlier paper "On the Zoological Geography of the Malay Archipelago" (1860). There, he discusses how groups of animals common in the northwest Malay islands are not found east of that line, while groups of animals common in Australia are not found west of it. His conclusion is firmly based in the observations he made while studying the species of the region. He wrote that "it is most striking to a naturalist" how groups of birds and mammals common in Java, Sumatra, and Borneo are present in Bali but completely absent in "Lombock," though the habitats of the islands are nearly identical and the waterway between them only 15 miles wide. His writing to support his placement of the line is full of specific descriptions of the ranges of different species; his studies of hundreds of species over the course of his travels enabled him to map out which groups of animals formed distinct faunas and locate the borders between those faunas. Since Wallace's line was first plotted on this map, it has been studied extensively up to today because where the faunas of Australia and Asia meet can inform scientists about the geologic history of the region and the evolutionary history of those animals.

Title A name given to the resource Monuments Description An account of the resource Important monuments such as Notre Dame and the Louvre are identified by large engraved depictions, which contrast with the two-dimensional design of the map. While these pictures seem to be scaled to fit roughly in the area on the map the building they depict occupies, they still dominate the surrounding area. It is interesting to look at which buildings make the cut: functioning medieval relics such as Notre Dame and the Hôpital St. Louis, former royal palaces such as the Louvres and Tuileries, administrative buildings such as the town hall, senate and legislature, monuments to the revolution (place de la Bastille) and famous cemeteries at Montmartre and Pere Lachaise. On my layer I categorised these places accordingly. It is difficult to identify a particularly political project in this selection, though the equivalence of representation seems to tie these disparate sites together, both serving as a guide for tourists and as an expression of a unified national tradition. administrative buildings artistic embellishment national identity religious buildings tourism urban growth over time
