When the K12 education team at the Map Center teaches World Maps Over Time, students look for evidence of the cartographers' points of view and intended audiences. Who do you think these maps were intended for and what might we guess about Richard Edes Harrison, the cartographer?

I used to stare at these maps of the ocean for hours when I was growing up. The ocean is a whole new world, and I am so glad to know where these maps came from. I now know the name of the woman who inspired my fascination with water: Marie Tharp.

@mapdragons @betsymason @stuartathompson @nytopinion Cartography is a powerful language, especially thematic cartography. Often misused — some times accidentally, because of not understanding the grammar; some times intentionally, because of the opposite.
Helpful explainer that opened my eyes to the many ways that accurate maps can nonetheless be deceiving and misleading, even with something as simple as color choice.
Election maps are terribly misleading. This visual explainer by @betsymason and @stuartathompson @nytopinion shows how they distort the political landscape: nyti.ms/34I1oQr
