I selected this map because I thought it was interesting how the artist placed the city of Seattle in the back ground. This is a campus map of Seattle Pacific University.

Blog assignment #3



I picked this map because the cartographer used the type creatively by blending it in with the background to label the landmasses.

Blog assignment #2

Richard Edes Harrison,

Richard Edes Harrison during World War II made this map in the perspective of a pilot. In the article I read, Harrison was an artist not a cartographer. I picked this map because I felt it was very interesting for that time period.
