Like a right foot in a sneaker, this Geography assignment surfaces from time to time. The assignment, entitled Urban Streams: History, Ecology and Memory, requires students to examine a number of maps and atlases and then prepare team reports with maps. The instructor has provided a detailed suggested methodology.
The key cartographic resources required for the assignment are displayed in the map cabinets area under signage. Students may photocopy the materials, but not check them out. Last year we experienced “hiding” of resources, which I hope will not be repeated.
As not all required materials are located in the HSS Map & Atlas area, you may get “known item location” questions at the Desk. Please feel free to suggest additional resources if you wish.
