Distribution of the colored population of the United States

1 pp 1898

America Transformed: The African American population grew from 4.4 million at the beginning of the Civil War to 7.5 million in 1890, representing 12 percent of the country's total population. This map from the statistical atlas using 1890 census data employs six shades of brown to indicate population distribution and density. Most African Americans remained in the Southeast, but many moved to Midwestern and Northeastern states. They established communities in urban areas like St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New York and Boston.

Distribution of the iron ores mined in the Lake Superior Region in the year 1902

1 pp 1902

America Transformed: This map depicts the geography of the iron and steel industry during the last half of the 19th century when coke from coal was introduced into the manufacturing process. Consequently, iron and steel factories moved closer to the coal sources, since coal was bulkier and more expensive to transport than iron ore. This map uses flow lines, a graphic statistical device innovative for the time, with the width of the lines representing the tonnage of iron coming from Michigan's Upper Peninsula and northeastern Minnesota and shipped to ports in the lower Great Lakes, including Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Erie, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh.

Distribution of the population of the United States

1 pp 1898

America Transformed: Prepared by the Census Office using 1890 data, this map illustrates the distribution of population across the country. Darker colors represent denser populations. Based on maps like this, historian Frederick Jackson Turner declared that America no longer had a frontier, which he defined as "the meeting point between savagery and civilization." He believed that the violent conquest of the West shaped "American character," marked by rugged individualism, inventiveness, and intuitive mastery over the physical landscape. Many agreed with his "frontier thesis" and feared for rising generations who would no longer have the challenge of fighting native people and dominating a wild landscape.America Transformed: Viewpoint: On the other hand, Native people saw the frontier thesis as a genocidal tactic of forcibly transferring a culture from one state of being to another. Native peoples viewed the frontier as a coming of great change and impending doom. Rather than expansion, the frontier closed in on and choked out Native territories. Cultures that for thousands of years managed and sustained themselves in this "wild landscape" were now forced into American "civilization" and "improvement" as the new American population spread. –Chris Newell (Passamaquoddy), endawnis Spears (Navajo, Ojibwe, Chickasaw, Choctaw), Dr. Jason Mancini Ph.D., Akomawt Educational Initiative

Seutter, one of the most important German globe makers and map publishers during the first half of the 18th century, created this world map using a design that was dominated by fourteen circles of varying sizes. It was included in the 1730 edition, as well as later editions, of his Atlas Novus. Starting with the basic design of two primary spheres depicting the traditional eastern and western hemispheres, Seutter added twelve subsidiary spheres. Rather than embellish the map's margins with ornate decorations, Seutter used these various spheres to provide different views of the Earth. Above and below the two primary spheres at the map's center are two smaller spheres depicting the northern and southern hemispheres. The corner spheres provide four different perspective views of the Earth as a globe which he identified as orthographic projections in the map's extended title. Despite this innovative format, most likely reflecting Seutter's interest in globe making, the geographic information was outdated. Like John Senex's map, California was still shown as an island, a concept that was disappearing from most mid-18th century maps.
