It's not the usual way of looking at North America, is it?
I have always loved maps. I partially credit Mr. Frank Hammond for sparking that interest. Frank taught us during junior-high and high school in Sunapee, NH. It might even be the case he used to come into elementary school classes when our all the town's students were housed in one building. Oh my, that place was the shining beacon on a hill, wasn't it? At least that will be the way I will always think of it.
Of course my love of cartography still exists, but no one in the early 1970's could've dreamt of something like Google Earth or Maps. We can now zoom in with any magnification and even drop into Street View in so many locations around the world. It really is amazing stuff and makes me rather happy I am alive in this Internet era.
It's been a while since I saw one of these though. Imagine 3-foot wall maps which cut most of the earth's landmass in two just to put the Americas in the middle of everything! I think I was always a little confused that India was on the right and the left.
