Cartography: Geographic World History
Learning geography and world history is an inherently intertwined process. As political and social movements lead to shifts in land ownership, the creation of new nations, and the redrawing of boundaries, these changes are meticulously documented through surveys and record keeping.
Historical events, from wars and treaties to exploration and colonization, directly influence geographical demarcations, thereby shaping the world map as we know it today. Meanwhile, the geographical context often plays a pivotal role in understanding the causes and outcomes of historical events, such as how mountain ranges have served as natural fortifications or how river valleys have cradled early civilizations. We invite you to explore the largest lakes in the world and learn about the physical geography of their formations as well as their bordering countries using GIS technology.
Together, the study of geography and world history provides a comprehensive view of humanity's footprint on the Earth. In our maps, we point out unique sites around the world that typically are not on most maps, yet these significant locations, such as the current 7 wonders of the world, are only a few examples. Using travel destination guides, interviewing world travelers, and through dedicated research, we highlight special sites around the world.
