However, it shows a subtle but unmistakeable political shift for the immediate post-Soviet period: rather than a map of the Soviet Union, this is a contamination map of Russia. In the post-Soviet period, the Soviet successor states were faced with the task of managing the long-term effects of environmental disasters that were arguably the fault of governments that no longer existed.

Title A name given to the resource Map Embodying the Information Received by the Committee on Meteorology of the Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania in Relation to the Storm of March, 16th, 17th, & 18th, 1838, Illustrating the Report of the Meteorologist. Description An account of the resource This is the first U.S. weather map. In his accompanying report, Espy states that the committee received back 50 responses from the 250 circulars it sent out to different parts of the United States and Canada regarding this notable storm. The map represents the assembled data, with reporting stations numbered from 1 to 50, roughly in order from south to north and from west to east as the storm was tracked. The three large circles show the eastern progress of the storm over the three days. Readings of barometric pressure, arrows for wind direction and relative strength, and descriptive words for precipitation/sky (rain/sleet/hail/snow, clear/fair/cloudy/heavy) are provided in the cells of small tables (three or four rows by two or three columns) printed next to each station number. Morning and evening results, if given, appear in adjacent cells of a row, and each row represents a different day (March 16, 17, 18, and sometimes 19). Like a time-delay photograph, the map nicely traces the regional movement of the storm, but graphic methods (shading, color, use of symbols) have not been developed yet to replace Espy’s data tables.

Title A name given to the resource John Cary's 1804 Map of the Netherlands Description An account of the resource John Cary was a well known, well respected, and well-trusted cartographer in Britain in the later 18th century and early 19th century. In this map which he produced in 1804, he produces an extremely detailed map of the Netherlands and Northern France focussing on the Netherlands. Like the other British maps, Cary acknowledges territory that would become Belgium as separate from France. However, this map does not take objection to all of France's territorial gains during the Revolutionary/Napoleonic Era. The title of the map reads "New Map of the Netherlands also of that Part of Germany Westward of the Rhine as Ceded to the French and Divided Into Several Departments." This map was created two years after an initial peace treaty, the Treaty of Amiens, was signed between France and Britain, but yet Britain did not officially recognize the territory of Belgium as part of France by the terms of the treaty. It would be beneficial to know how tied to the government the authority patronizing the creation of this map was, so it could be determined if this was an active attempt by the British government to keep French possession of Belgium out of public conscienceness or if this map is a more natural reflection of British public conception of this territory.

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].

The Great Smoky Mountains and Blue Ridge Mountains form the geographic boundaries of the region; there are no images or opportunities noted beyond the state lines. The image consists of two maps. "The Fun" includes illustrations and labels of local tourist attractions. "The Hiways" is a standard road map of the same region. Outdoor recreation opportunities are highlighted. The pictorial representation of the mountain ranges defines the map; by naming each mountain, the map makers indicate to the viewer that they are places worth knowing. Waterfalls, hiking trails, and lakes are also found across the map. This includes Fontana Lake, a lake created by a TVA dam. Amenities are drawn all over the map. Trails, camp spots, small towns, and major roads traverse the entire landscape, making every labelled spot both visually and practically accessible to the traveler.

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.

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.
