Maps for Our Neighbors: Their Stories, Volume 1
Using maps during the history lesson can be an excellent way to reinforce relations, increase geography skills, and engage multiple parts of the brain while working with living books. Each map is available in two different download sizes—high resolution for fine detail viewing on a computer or TV screen and print resolution for printing on a home printer.
Unless otherwise noted, all maps are courtesy of the David Rumsey Map Collection, David Rumsey Map Center, Stanford Libraries.
