Book Synopsis
Interweaving cartographic history with tales of politics and power, this work is located within the struggles of mapmakers to create an orderly process for naming that avoids confusion, preserves history, and serves different political aims. It reveals the map's role as a mediated portrait of the cultural landscape.

Trade Review
"From Squaw Tit to Whorehouse Meadow is a wonderfully interesting tome that enlightens as it delights the reader with superb examples of all types. In addition to being a very insightful historical, political, cultural, and cartographic analysis, it provides important insights into how societal values evolve and change. There is really no book on this topic of comparable quality or breadth." - Dr. George J. Demko, Dartmouth College, and former Geographer of the United States, U.S. Department of State"
