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.

Subject The topic of the resource Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway Description An account of the resource Full Title: “(Text Page to) St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Ry. Red River Valley Line through the park region ... 2 +87. Matthews, Northrup & Co., Art-Printing Works, Buffalo, N.Y.” My description: This text page advertisement from the Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway provides timetables and text convincing readers to go West. The railroad company tells readers (in the lower central part of the document) that the company’s lands in North Dakota possess “Several Million Acres of the Finest Soil in Dakota” that are “all for actual settlers…no reservation.” The advertisement asks readers, “Why not accept” a farm of your own “in this great country?” Though this rail-line was not the specific rail-line that took Theodore Roosevelt to the Little Missouri Basin, it gives a clear sense of the excitement surrounding the expansion into the western parts of the Dakota territories. In particular, it captures a “get rich quick!” mentality that caused ranchers and settlers to flood into the Dakotas. Please note: this text may not, in any traditional sense, be a map. However, the David Rumsey Collection classifies it as a "Timetable Map." Regardless of how we qualify the text, I have included it because it is a valuable resource in forming an understanding of migration and settlement of the Dakota Territory in the 1880s. Additionally, it acts as a useful supplement to the two maps in this collection that were commissioned by railway companies and made by Rand McNally, the first from 1873 and the second from 1886.

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.

With a Study of the Relations of Living and Extinct Faunas as Elucidating the Past Changes of the Earth's Surface" (1876). This map shows the 6 regions into which Wallace believed the world could be divided based on the distinct groups of animals living in them. It also draws lines around subdivisions within those regions; Wallace established each of these subdivisions by comparing the ranges of many species and higher-level groups of animals and locating borders past which the ranges of numerous animal groups did not extend. The red lines on this map are not absolute boundaries that no taxonomic groups cross. Many cosmopolitan animal groups live in multiple of these regions, but Wallace thought constructing biogeographical regions was still important because, as the title of his book suggests, a sense of what regions share biota can help scientists figure out historical associations between different landmasses. Biogeography has serious implications for the evolution of both life and earth, and Wallace's evolutionary theories were based on his study of biogeographical ranges. Wallace was not the first to map out biogeographical regions of the world. He built off of the work of earlier natural historians and explorers who had noted distinct floras of plants on different continents and of the ornithologist Philip Lutley Sclater who, a few years earlier, had divided the world into six regions based on their passerine birds. However, Wallace, unlike any before him, focused his whole career on studying the distribution of species. This map shows the global scale of the conclusions that he was able to draw with further study building off his experience observing the details of species in the Malay Archipelago. and city names Australian region biogeographical division line continent outlines contours of sea depth dashed lines desert labels Ethiopan region mountain range labels Nearctic region Neotropical region numbers and outlines of subdivisions within biogeographical regions Oriental region Palaearctic region region selected country shading of biogeographic regions solid lines https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/hist1952/original/7f62b807293692cc7d8bfa6046d902e1.gif 9888c5a2f50671f432d439c96139cd07 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Britain Colonial Mapping of Western Palestine in the Ottoman period Description An account of the resource The Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF) of Great Britain conducted an extensive survey of Western Palestine from 1872-1877, during the Ottoman period. While the fund was headed by religious figures and academics, there was also involvement from the British government. Essentially, the religious and academic associations of the fund may have served as a front to allow the British government to collect intelligence on the region. For example, the British Foreign Office had documented involvement in the production and funding of the survey project, which increased with the Russo-Turkian War (1877-78). This survey was the most detailed and technologically advanced to date and was ultimately employed by the British in their invasion of Palestine in WWI. In addition to its attention to topographic detail, this mapping project is notable for its area of focus. Unlike other maps produced by Western colonial powers at the time, such as France and Germany, this map focuses exclusively on an area west of the Jordan river. Uncannily, its borders resemble those of the future British Mandate (1920-1948). The survey is also careful to include the significant holy sites of the New Testament. After the maps production, the British Foreign Office required that the PEF delay the publication of the maps for a year to control the dispersal of sensitive intelligence information. Thus, these maps should be evaluated both as products of academic and religious scholarship and as tools in the British colonial enterprise.

Title A name given to the resource Topographical and Geographical Terms in Arabic (and English Description An account of the resource This map presents the place names of western Palestine in Arabic and explains their meaning in a key on the side. It also marks the location of Arabic villages, churches and mosques. It is a notable that this map is included to the Palestine Exploration Fund Survey because it acknowledges the development of an indigenous culture in the region since the time of the new testament. The New Testament seems to color the surveyors' interaction with the land in the remainder of the collection so I hope to study the ways that it has seeped into this map as well. Notably, unlike the other maps in the survey, this map appears less technologically advanced and does not include topography lines. It might be less useful as an orienting tool for the military and might instead represent the academic interests behind the survey.
