Map with interesting Fonts
Here is an interesting map that I found. Click to enlarge.
it is of North America, drawn in 1640. (based on what was "known" at the time). Canada is called "New France", it being a French possession at the time and till 1763. They included a huge amount of information in this map and used different fonts to portray qualitative differences in what was being identified.

My links
My five links are to :
- The class website;
- The department website (or, the old department, I guess);
- A collection of historical maps;
- An interactive "google-maps"-type tool that allows you to see recent crimes in a given neighborhood, zip-code, or anywhere(just zoom in)-- I call it "Crimes Maps" on the links list there.
- American Factfinder, to find information.
