2004 EdUC Proceedings Abstract
 Rewriting the History of Mapping Track: Teaching with GIS Author(s): Patricia Seed, German Diaz The paper will demonstrate how ArcView can be used backwards. While in most cases, you know the projection that a map is using, I will show how you can use ArcMap 8.3 to find out what projection the map maker was using. The availability of the Mercator projection this fall has made inquiries into the early history of cartography--and the pre-history of Mercator's projection--possible.
