A Delicious Map of Cape Cod | |
A classic Cape Cod map in cranberry color, by Claretta Pope Higgins, 1948. The artist encourages her audience to "Cut out map in center and use as wall decoration. Cut individual silouettes and paste on cabinets. Use own brush work to join them. It's fun!" Perhaps this explains why so few of these maps have appeared on the market. | |

We have not yet met many people who do not delight in a map with unusual, apocryphal, or downright made-up geography. These two wonderful maps feature one of the most desirable examples: California as an island. But they have far more than only that to commend them, including Quivira, imagined bays, mysterious peninsulas, and a squiggly river that appears to connect the Great Salt Lake to the sea. | |

Gift Idea: Miniature Maps | |
A small map, handsomely framed, would be a thoughtful gift for someone who holds a particular state, city, or country dear to their heart. Its petite size means that the recipient shouldn't have any trouble finding a spot for it in their home, even if its a small apartment. A framed map of their home state or favorite vacation spot would bring them great joy! | |
