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.

However, this map layer presents New Testament Era place names superimposed over the 1870 map. The cartographer has pulled geographic information from the Talmud and Josephus, in addition to the New Testament to illustrate the layout of the "Land of Judea" after the birth of Jesus. It is part of a collection of British Survey maps, authored by the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1880. This survey collection was the dominant source of information for the British military invasion of Palestine in WWI and continued to have importance for scientific and ethnographic research thereafter. This map layer highlights how the survey was in fact designed by the PEF to encompass historic christian religious sites. As a contrast, one might compare this map layer with the Old Testament map layer which does not succeed to cover certain areas depicted in the Old Testament because of the survey’s limits. This aids in the conclusion that the PEF survey was intended for archeological, academic and religious use.

Title A name given to the resource Arrowsmith & Lewis's Map of the Netherlands, 1804 Description An account of the resource Here is an American map of the Netherlands created in 1804. Like Cary's map, this map seems to show the region of Belgium as separate from France. However, unlike Cary's map, there are no strict borders between France and Holland defined. Instead this map focusses it's energies of local authority, dividing the map up into counties instead of countries. There are regions defined as "French Netherlands" on the southern half of the map, but cities such as Ghent, who would have self-identified as French during this time period appears to lie outside of that region. It's interesting because America had just fought a war with England, allied with France, and so one could assume that they have no reason to discredit the French Republic. However, the founding fathers of America famously held back full support of the French Revolution, because it was Louis XVI who sent them aid in the War for Independence.

Title A name given to the resource Mapping disease Description An account of the resource My final project investigates the different ways of mapping disease throughout history and how this can be seen as a product of attitudes towards disease and understanding of the underlying mechanisms at a particular time. While now producing maps of disease is a basic tool in epidemiology and public health, this way of visualizing disease patterns did not develop until around the turn of the 19th century. Prompted in part by serious epidemics of cholera and yellow fever, maps became an important tool in the mission to understand the mode of transmission of disease. In particular, maps were key in the debate over and development of germ theory. Later, maps were also used to disseminate awareness to the general public, and no longer remained the preserve of scientists and public health officials in academic contexts. For this initial map collection I aimed to display three maps that show significantly different ways of thinking about infectious disease. In particular, they show three key stages in the understanding of disease: initial mapping to attempt to discern a mode of transmission, knowledge of a vector and its range, and an attempt to communicate the urgency and danger of disease to the public.

Title A name given to the resource Original map of the Transvaal or South-African Republic Description An account of the resource This map is entitled the “Original map of the Transvaal or South-African Republic” and was published in 1875. It was the first comprehensive and accurate map of the Transvaal and was published just before the outbreak of the First Boer War. The map shows the geography of the area, and highlights (quite literally, through the use of color) the political boundaries between Portuguese dominions, British dominions, the South African Republic and the Orange Free State. The feature of the map that makes it most interesting to my project, however, is the inclusion of a green line that marks the “boundary of the Tsetse fly.” The tsetse fly causes sleeping sickness, one of the diseases that posed such difficulties to the European colonial endeavor. Until you read the label, it looks like the green line marks another territorial boundary between nations; instead it gives the territory of the fly as much visual importance as that of, say, Britain. Insofar as presence of the tsetse fly and therefore increased disease transmission prevented colonial expansion, then perhaps the green line does mark a political boundary: the regions to which European colonizers could not expand. It is also an interesting way of visualizing disease, since no disease is explicitly mentioned on the map, instead it is the habitat of the vector that is noted, with the implication that everyone knew what the tsetse fly was and its effect. Disease is referenced vaguely in other labels on the map, such as “unhealthy flats”, but this is not even given a exact marker or reference to the type of disease in that area.

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.

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.

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/d49787bc668cec65b78a75b04247d1b8.jpg 0d00af9124e99982df413e0d15d57661 Historical Map Fill out as many of these fields as possible.
