by Phil von Stade.
Prouts Neck Historical Executive Director Philip von Stade will cover the evolution of Scarborough maps from 1605 to the present, from cartographers like Champlain to Google Earth and Apple. More than just directions from place
to place, maps served many purposes. Some were marketing tools. Later they could provide historic perspective. Others were used to delineate needed infrastructure, school and political districts and impacts of climate change. And so often they are works of art, that encourage us to engage with sense of place and time. Local sources like the Osher Map Library will be discussed along with internet resources, and the importance of aerial and satellite views.
