Myths, Monsters, Mistakes and Lies
Myths, Monsters, Mistakes and Lies
Maps that are more a fabrication of the human mind than a true reflection of reality.
A fun selection of ten maps, dated from 1550 through 1951, from the Yana and Marty Davis Map Collection here at the Museum of the Big Bend.
These maps are all original – the date you see on the label is the year that particular map was printed, making these important, if not necessarily accurate, historical documents.
On display downstairs in the Museum of the Big Bend.
