🔴 🗺️ Is It a Map?! – Unusual Graphics in the Geography and Map Division
"Sometimes in our collection of 6 million maps, I run across an item that is so unusual that it makes me stop and ask myself, “is this really a map?” When one thinks of a map, the most typical response is to think of something that shows the land or sea that depicts such things as cities, roads, and natural features. However, another definition as given by the Merriam Webster dictionary is “a diagram or other visual representation that shows the relative position of the parts of something.”
