About this episode
Maps. We've all studied them. Stuffed them into backpacks or the seatback pocket of our car. Maybe we've even been led astray by a map. But have you ever thought about the person who made that map? Or how that person might influence your initial impression of a landscape? "A map in not a perfect representation of a landscape. It's an abstract representation." says cartographer Marty Schnure . Today, we have a sotry about a mapmaker, Patagonia Park , and the process Marty uses to create a map--a map that she hope will connect you to a place.
