[Daniel Coe has done and continues to make amazing hydrographic cartography in this regard, see image attached]

“[T]housands of years of course changes compressed into a single image by a clever mapmaker with an artistic eye. Looking at them, you're invited to imagine the Mississippi as it was during the European exploration of the Americas in the 1500s, during the Cahokia civilization in the 1200s (when this city's population matched London's), when the first humans came upon the river more than 12,000 years ago, and even back to before humans, when mammoths, camels, dire wolves, and giant beavers roamed the land and gazed upon the river…”

Terra Nostra, 1550-1950 - The Stories Behind Canada's Maps [lunchtime reading for a map nerd]

[a wonderful description of maps in their exploration, historic, cultural, economic and political settings]
“Maps have been invaluable throughout Canada's history. They promised fame and fortune to early merchant-adventurers and guided army commanders. They legitimized a politician's dominion and allowed businessmen to stake new claims. And they helped ordinary citizens build communities. Terra Nostra celebrates the mapping of Canada, in part by telling the stories of the exceptional individuals who helped to create the maps..."

[alongside John Snow’s famous “GIS” maps of disease mapping (specifically cholera in PWS in London in the 1850s), these 1890s and 1900s maps from Charles Booth were some of the defining ones of the history of spatial analyses]

[I think that I want ‘Teacher of Memory’ on my personal card, aspirational on my part]

“A FAIR knowledge of Geography is essential to the full development and exercise of intelligence, and is not only an advantage but a great delight. Its study however, as usually pursued, is too often wearisome and unsatisfactory. Many find the facts extremely difficult to learn, and experience an unenviable facility in forgetting them...
WILLIAM STOKES,
15, Margaret Street,
TEACHER OF MEMORY.
Cavendish Square, London, W.
January 1st, 1868.”
