"Mapping Wisconsin History is one example of an educational renaissance underway in Wisconsin schools, as students receive new and compelling tools for studying the history and geography of our state."-Gaylord Nelson

The joy of maps abounds in this set of exciting classroom materials from the WHS's Office of School Services and the Wisconsin Cartographers' Guild, creators of the best-selling book, Wisconsin's Past and Present: A Historical Atlas. For use either independently or as a companion to the Atlas, this publication includes seven color transparencies depicting: landscape and glaciation; American Indians; migration and ethnic settlement; cities and counties; mining; timber; agriculture; and industry and transportation. Background information and classroom activities, as well as reproducible worksheets and blackline transparencies, give educators the opportunity to explore and integrate Wisconsin history and geography with students from grades four and up.

The Wisconsin Cartographers' Guild members for this project are Amelia Janes, Zoltán Grossman, and Michael Gallagher.
