Thompson and Lugthart developed a series of full-color historical maps of Montana, beginning with one of the earliest American Indian maps of a portion of Western Montana all the way through to the present. …
The historical maps show an evolution of discovery, place names and the migration of the people living on the land. Each mapmaker from each era contributes to the history of the landscape.
“Each map is a story unto itself,” Thompson said.
NewMexiKen loves maps, and thinks historical maps in particular would be good to collect once I receive my Powerball winnings.
