Applied Mapping is a graduate level course taught by Dr. Winifred Newman. The course focuses on developing more effective ways to employ mapping by studying them as cartographic histories. In Applied Mapping, students study maps as objects of historical explanation to understand place.
Throughout the semester, students evaluated historical maps, identified map types and their corresponding utility, and collected data to make their owns maps. Students had the opportunity to work with drones to develop their own mapping projects.
The following images are student work created throughout the course of the semester.
Student Tony Garland created a study of how trees are experienced in different times at different levels.
