St. Louis Mapped: A History of the Gateway City in 8 Historic Maps
In the digital age, maps are more important and accessible than ever. But maps were just as important in the past. Through 8 maps spanning 250 years, this illustrated lecture tells diverse and fascinating St. Louis stories. Some of the maps featured are large, some quite small, others beautifully ornate or simply utilitarian. This lecture is a companion to the book released by Reedy Press in October 2024.
