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 Southern Part of the Malay Archipelago shewing Mr. Wallace's Routes Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived The Malay Archipelago: The Land of the Orang-utan, and the Bird of Paradise. A Narrative of Travel, with Studies of Man and Nature. Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available MacMillan and Co. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1869 Description An account of the resource This map, published in Wallace's book describing his travels in the Malay Archipelago, shows the routes he took around the region while he was visiting the islands and collecting specimens there between 1854 and 1862. His occupation during these years was collecting natural history specimens for sale, but he also made detailed observations of the plants, animals, land, and people there, which made him a foremost expert on the region at the time. Wallace’s work on both evolution and biogeography was based on his detailed observation of species during his travels on the routes shown on this map. While at Sarawak in 1855, he wrote a paper “On the Law which has Regulated the Introduction of New Species,” which proposed the following law: “Every species has come into existence coincident both in time and space with a pre–existing closely allied species.” This proto-evolutionary statement was his explanation for why similar species were endemic to adjacent areas, and was a direct response to diverse groups of species that he found concentrated in the Malay Archipelago. He wrote the paper which earned him the title of co-discoverer of evolution by natural selection on the island of “Jilolo” in 1858. Titled “On the Tendency of Varieties to depart indefinitely from the Original Type,” this paper describes the struggle for existence between varieties within a species leading to divergent evolution as better-adapted varieties survive more to reproduce. Wallace famously wrote this paper while suffering from a tropical fever, and his discussion of varieties of species and the pressures to which they are subject was surely grounded in his observation of the lifeforms around him there. This map gives a sense of how extensive Wallace’s travels in the Malay Archipelago were and the number of distinct biotas from different islands he was able to observe as he developed his theories.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource State and Territory Names Description An account of the resource One of the things I noticed in exploring this map is that although state boundary lines are almost indiscernible, state and territory place names hold an outsize importance in the visual hierarchy. The text for state and territory names is in an imposing, block letter font and all capitals and seems unusually large and bold. This boldness creates an imposing quality that leaves obvious fingerprints of an obstreperous intervention into the natural space of rivers and colors. I argue that this mechanical, intrusive quality is an intentional attempt to show how man-made political divisions are at odds with the natural landscape of rivers. To put it broadly, I see a conflict between the natural and man-made features of the map. I see the overbearing text size and the preeminence of rivers as the two primary visual layers at the forefront of this confrontation. It seems to me that the there is a parallel between the incongruent juxtaposition of natural and man-made features in the map itself and a broader conflict that was going on in the 1850s to claim the territories as either slave or free. Indeed, the clunky visual picture created by the place name fonts stands in stark contrast to the cleanness and order of the Missouri Compromise negative space, which smoothly sleuths across the territories. I argue that this visual confrontation mirrors the map-maker’s opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, especially in contrast to the order and stability that the Missouri Compromise ensured, at least according to Republicans at the time. After all, opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act precipitated the formation of the Republican Party, and this map was produced as a piece of pro-Republican election propaganda for the 1856 presidential election.

As the map notes, there is "no scale," nor does it include a compass rose. The map has three major parts: the diagram of the proposed dams along the top of the image, the pictorial map of Tennessee, and an inset of Great Smoky Mountain National Park in the bottom right-hand corner. Taken together, all three parts contribute to a particular understanding of the regional geography. The top diagram shows the location of proposed dams along the Tennessee River with respect to the distance from the mouth and the elevation. This is the product of the Tennessee Valley Authority's work in the region; it's mandate was to provide flood control and generate agricultural and industrial development in the region. The colors of the map serve to emphasize the area under the TVA's domain, highlighting it in a light green while the rest of the land area is a muted cornflower blue. Mountains, hills, state lines, and cities are depicted in brown; roads are white and toponyms are in black. The rivers and title of the map are dark blue. The Great Smoky Mountain inset acknowledges the growing importance of recreation and scenic tourism to the region. The National Park was newly established, and the roads linking Knoxville and Asheville, the two cities on either side of the Appalachians in this area highlight the connectivity, which should enable economic growth, of the mountainous landscape.

Title A name given to the resource Elkhorn Ranch Subject The topic of the resource Westward Expansion; Ranching in the Dakota Territories in the 1880s; Theodore Roosevelt; Little Missouri River Description An account of the resource My curated map collection helps analyze how a particular space, the basin of the Little Missouri River in present day North Dakota, took on special personal meaning to Theodore Roosevelt in the 1880s. My project investigates how the land and people in the Little Missouri created a unique cultural and historical phenomenon that endured not just in Roosevelt’s conscience but also in the national imagination. My project will answer such questions as: what were the cultural and economic forces that led to a ranching boom in the Little Missouri Basin in the 1880s? How did the space change Roosevelt? How did he and others change the space? What cultural, ideological, and personal meaning did Roosevelt attach to the space, and how, and why? How did what happened there reflect or influence understandings of national identity in the latter half of the 19th century? I include these maps as texts and tools to provide context and analysis in answering these and other questions.

Shows Surveyor General's Office and Land Offices in color, towns, completed and railroads limits, Indian reservations, military reservations, outline colored county boundaries. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington, D.C.” My description: This map shows the U.S. government’s surveying of the Dakota Territory from 1882, including towns, railroads, military bases, and Indian reservations. The map uses a bright orange-red color to delineate counties, Indian reservations, and other features. The map is especially relevant to my project in that it provides a view into how, just a year before Theodore Roosevelt arrived in the Little Missouri area, much of Dakota was still beyond the bounds of U.S. surveying. This map, unlike the Rand McNally map from 1873, depicts a completed Northern Pacific Railroad line passing through Little Missouri, the outpost town that would come to be called Medora upon the arrival of the Marquis de Mores in 1883. This railroad line was essential for the development of ranching in the Little Missouri Basin because it allowed cattle to be transported eastward from the ranch lands. This map is also notable for its documentation of the presence of Indian reservations. For instance, the “Souix Indian Reservation” occupies a sizeable portion of the area in the Southwest and central parts of the territory, just East of the Black Hills. The reservation is bordered in several places by U.S. military bases. Furthermore, there are relatively few topographical features indicated on the map. The focus is more on human impositions on the land than on natural features themselves.
