This was from some software called "The Great American History

All of their maps were in machine readable form.  If somebody has the handouts from that conference (maybe Mary L. could look at or get them from Dr. Tobler or Dr. Goodchild), that should give the name of the guy who did the presentation. As I recall the CMU guy was a history professor, but I was on drugs from a surgery, so that recollection may be wrong.
