The largest freshwater system on Earth, like you’ve never seen it before.
In Great Lakes in 50 Maps, cartographer and author of Detroit in 50 Maps Alex B. Hill presents new ways of looking at the inland seas: from the region’s production of pumpkins and maple syrup to mapping where businesses use “Great Lakes” in their name, this far-ranging visual guide offers a fresh look even for those who have lived in it their whole lives. Split into four categories—history & culture, ecological, infrastructure, and physical—these maps guide readers on a curated and quirky history, from its importance to the Underground Railroad to how climate change is affecting the lakes’ present and future.
Similar to Belt Publishing’s ever-popular city-based 50 Maps series, Great Lakes in 50 Maps appeals to both those who call the region home and to everyone who is curious about one of our country’s greatest natural resources.
