Land Surveying has been around for thousands of years and has an impact on everyday life. From drawing maps to designing cities with the efficient layouts surveyors effect everybody in one way or another. Surveying as any profession has had its stars as well. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln were all surveyors before becoming men of power. Of course technology from their time has advanced and is actually one of the fastest advancing fields in the world. The men who founded

discusses the many ways that maps have advanced over centuries. Without the satellites and technology that we have today, maps were first created from educated guesses. Some people thought the Earth was flat. Others believed that the universe revolved around the Earth. Although maps have not always had the accuracy that they do today, they have still played a large role in how we solve problems, especially when it comes to crime and public health. The latitude and longitude on a map may be able to tell

1.) Why does Baudrillard discuss Borges’s map? Borges’s map was meant to represent the worlds insistence to recreate the things that we see in exact detail, yet he uses the tale to point out the fact that todays society has redefined images and objects thanks to mass media, confusing reality with that of the representation. He states that “the map precedes the territory” which I take to mean that the medium precedes the message. More so, that the copy of an image, the representation, precedes the

isolate the effect of YAH maps in way finding, since personal characteristic, past experience of using YAH maps, educational background and familiarity with the building might have influence the results. Therefore, the participant answered some question related to these factors. There is opportunity to extend the current study by examining the questions outlined above, although this is beyond the scope of this investigation. 1.1 Discussion- experiment one: How useful are YAH maps in solving a spatial

You need to keep the different stories separated on different map and the maps should be to scale. Most officers and supervisors are very comfortable with point or pin maps, most of the request you get for maps will be for these types of maps. (Paynich & Hill, 2014) You should always remember scale and multiple points as key is to understanding and making your audience understand your pins maps. Showing multiple points on a map a small scale can just show there is a lot of crime. (Paynich &

1650 map, created by Joan Vinckeboon, titled “ Map of California Shown as an Island," echoes the inaccurate belief of cartographers, whose early maps depicted California as an island, separate from mainland North America. The Dutch cartographer and engraver Vinckeboon was born into a Flemish family of artists and started out drawing for his father. About 1640, he started creating maps, and later was employed by the Dutch West India Company, where he spent roughly three decades creating maps that

because where the author says that Margo and Q live is actually a real paper town. Where they play mischievous pranks on people is also an actual paper town. Another reason is because Margo does research on paper towns and marks paper towns on the maps that Q finds as some of the clues she leaves for him to find her. She uses the paper towns because they lead to abandoned places and the middle of nowhere and it confuses him and makes him sometimes believe that she is dead, yet he still never gives

lives. This is why man decided to create the map. For centuries, maps were created by hand to depict various known locations locally or globally. Now, with the advent of new technology, maps can easily be generated by a computer, especially through using GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software. I have always been fascinated by maps, geography, and understanding how everything is arranged in the world. Since GIS allows for the creation of maps depicting the arrangements of an area in the
