This massive, authoritative scholarly reference text is part of the legendary History of Cartography series. Volume 6 serves as a comprehensive, encyclopedic survey of map history throughout the pivotal twentieth century. It details the historic transformation of mapmaking from traditional paper formats to digital systems, satellite wayfinding, and geographic information technologies.The striking jacket art features a classic retro Northwest Orient Airlines System Route Map design, making it an excellent display piece or a high-end gift for historians, geography buffs, aviation enthusiasts, and map collectors.

Excellent pre-owned condition. The book itself has a tight binding, and pages are clean. The dust jacket is intact with only minor shelf wear/scuffing along the edges as shown in photos. It has one wrinkle on the bottom right corner. The inside of the dust cover shows some spotting. I have taken 3 photos that show the 3 page edges around the book. One small red mark and some smudges. Top of the pages show some small amounts of spotting. Clear, crisp text and beautiful illustrations throughout. Please review all listing photos closely to verify its physical state.

Later printings are sold by the University of Chicago press for $599.00. This first edition would make a great gift for any map enthusiasts. Thanks for visiting!
