The Map Room

The Map Room is all about finding maps, map collections, map-related resources, and material about maps on the web. Anything that fits under that rubric, from medieval mappæ mundi to satellite imagery, and from topo maps to Tolkien, is fair game. The Map Room is aimed at a broad audience. While GIS professionals and cartographers enjoy reading it, it's intended to be accessible to anyone with nothing more than an interest in maps.

The Wide Ranging World Map

Said by its makers to be the first and only environmental wall map of the world. The map not only displays all countries, active border disputes, and key cities, but it also notes cultural regions, prominent indigenous nations, and population densities. And there are facts about levels of marine pollution, radioactive contamination, and destroyed rain forests. "If conventional political maps are the story of government, the Wide Ranging World Map is the story of the people and the Earth," said Daniel Rirdan, director of the Exploration Company and producer of the map. "By sheer nclusion of these features on a map, they acquire a reality in people's eyes."
