From the 1930s through the 1950s, Richard Edes Harrison produced hundreds of stunning maps and graphics that upended the American public’s understanding of geography in a world governed by war and aviation. Here we examine the source of his creativity and explore the ways that Harrison—arguably the nation’s most influential mapmaker—simultaneously chronicled and advanced American power at midcentury.
Susan Schulten is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Denver, where she has taught since 1996. She is the author of four books which examine the role of mapping in American history. A resident of Denver and member of the Rocky Mountain Map Society, Susan has become one of the country’s most respected and popular lecturers on historical maps.
