Mapping the Nation – History and Cartography in Nineteenth–Century America
Susan Schulten
In the 19th century, Americans began to use maps in extraordinary new ways. Medical men mapped diseases to understand epidemics, natural scientists mapped climate to uncover weather patterns, and Northerners created slave maps to assess the power of the South. This book charts how thematic maps demonstrated the analytical potential of cartography.
