Cadastral Map

http://www.newberry.org/smith/exhibits/popcart/occidental.html

This map shows a Polar map. The perspective of it is what makes it unique. Usually shown with Americas to the left or center and Europe Asia to the right, this map show Alaska in its center point, changing society's constructed acceptance of power dynamics within countries. This map is black and white, which eliminates information. It is a pretty basic locational map, with country's names listed. There are some lines running through it which I interpret to be major rivers, however it should be labeled or listed in the key which makes it for easier interpretation and better understanding of the map.
