Article title: Mapping Everything From Eden to the New York Subway http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/15/arts/design/15maps.html By EDWARD ROTHSTEIN Published: September 15, 2005 The first map in a 1857 atlas created by Edward Quin in England is dated "B.C. 2348," and it is a map that would not be made today: most of the page is taken up with the blackness of a thick cloud. At its center, the darkness is parted in a roiling circle of light. In the distance can be glimpsed a map fragment, which includes two rivers, a mountain and a lake. It is labeled Eden. Alice C.
