----------------------------Original message---------------------------- As a first step, as a graduate student, you should visit the closest map library and research this topic in the various catalogs, periodicals, etc. at that locale. You should be able to do quite a bit at the map library at Chico; but a visit to the UCBerkeley map library should also be valuable for historical files of cartographic periodicals. If you have already taken these two steps, it would have been helpful to state your research so far, before posting on maphist. If not, to paraphrase, research locally, then---globally.
