Mapping Our Way

The smallest is just four inches by five-and-a-half inches, showing the Copernican Universe. The largest is 13 feet by 122 feet, showing railroad lines for the Elkhart and Santa Fe Railway in 1930.

Or how about the one that shows Santa Fe in Texas? Or California as a horizontal state, swallowing up what is now Arizona?

All are treasures at the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library in the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They are among 6,000 maps cataloged over the last four years by the Historic New Mexico Maps project.

Her early life and that of her family were far from ideal, and the way she dealt with such potential embarrassments was to simply wipe them from her story, or invent a more acceptable fictional story to compensate.
