Featured Maps! Let’s Roll (wall maps)

Theme for the week: Let’s Roll (Wall Maps)

Date:  June 3-21, 2019

As a staple of every elementary school classroom, rolled wall maps are the best way to view the world at large.  Rolled wall maps come in sizes as small as a poster to as big as a classroom chalkboard, and can still maintain a high enough level of detailed for educational purposes.  Our staff like to consider rolled wall maps as ancestors to PowerPoint.

The Map Collection is showcasing our holdings of rolled wall maps from a variety of locations and generations. Come in to see massive displays like the geologic formation of the Russian Far East, to the movement of United States troops during World War II, to the city of Oakland as it was back in 1910.

Featured this week is a chalkboard map of the world placed out on the easel in front of the map room doors. This map is out for interactive use and some chalk will be left so you can show us where you are from.

Come to the Map Collection and look for this sign:
