Today I was loaned all three volumes of /The Boy Mechanic/. They were 
published in 1913, 1915, and 1919.  In Book 2 the first article is 
"Plane Table Surveying," by Harold G. McGee.  This one is the only thing 
I have found so far about maps, but from a two-minute glance at each of 
them, drafting and drafting tools are a part of being a boy a century 
ago. Might there be any interest in republishing articles like this, 
about how to make maps at home?  I can imagine it being done in some 
high schools.

I'll try to have the pages copied (my scanner is dead), but I will have 
these books for only a few days.
