Program Description
Event Details
Discover information on historical people, places, or things.
In the digital age, maps are more important and accessible than ever. Today, thanks to mobile devices, maps literally tell you where you are going. But maps were just as important in the past. They not only helped you navigate the world, but they also guided future plans and dreams.
The lecture "Mapping St. Louis" charts the growth of the city from its founding in the 1760s to the present day. Many different styles of maps are featured - maps for exploration and navigation, pocket and atlas maps, development and planning maps, pictorial maps, and fantasy maps.
The lecture and book "Mapping St. Louis" are your guide to charting St. Louis's rich history and may spark ideas about where the city may be heading.
