Eight of the 10 counties cooperated in renaming 17 features. Lake and Koochiching counties did not cooperate with the change: Lake County suggested changing Squaw Creek and Squaw Bay to Politically Correct Creek and Politically Correct Bay. The Department of Natural Resources rejected these names, to which the Lake County Board replied it would continue to use "Squaw." The name of Squaw Lake (lake) was changed to Nature's Lake, while the town of Squaw Lake will retain its name, since the law did not require towns to change their name. 1.1.3 Albanian map of the US Civil War The British Library Map Library received as a donation a map published in 1965 by the Mjeteve Mesimore Kulture e Sportive "Hamid Shijaku," which is the government mapping agency of Albania. The map is called "Lufta civile ne Sh.B.A. 1861-1865" and shows military movements and battle sites of the American Civil War. It's on two sheets, and looks like it was meant to be joined and hung on a wall. Among the important cities shown on the map (in Albanian, of course) are (with their states, which I'll add in English): Uashington (DC) Luisvill (Kentucky) Xheferson-Siti (Missouri) De-Mojn (Iowa) Roli (North Carolina) Ollbani (New York) Baton-Ruzh (Louisiana) Apomatox (Virginia) Hejnsvill (Florida) Trenton (New Jersey) It's fascinating to wonder why the Albanian government published a map of the American Civil War to be used in its schools, and interesting to note the map was published in the hundredth anniversary year of the end of the war. Thanks to April Carlucci for that interesting tidbit! 2. NEW BOOKS, MAPS, ETC. 2.1 NEW MAPPING OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA by Ken Rockwell ALASKA Berann, Heinrich C.

Located at http://link.tsl.state.tx.us/m/mapform.htm, the map database contains catalog records for original, photo-reproduced, and compiled maps covering the period from the early 17th century through the late 20th. Material now accessible through the Internet includes general maps of Texas, US, and Mexico; 18th=AD20th century world atlases; bird's-eye views of Texas cities; and coastal charts and other nautical maps. Other subjects are: Texas Highway Department county road maps; General Land Office county survey maps; state and county geological maps; highway and road maps; military survey and reconnaissance maps; oil and gas maps; plans of forts, missions, presidios, battlegrounds; railroad maps; soil survey maps; street maps; town plats; and US Geological Survey maps showing the topography of various Texas counties prior to 1900.
