Persuasive Maps

The Cornell University Library has an awesome collection of "persuasive maps" like the one above.  The collection, which comes from Cornell's rare maps division, includes maps great for both American and world history.

The purpose of the maps is to influence opinion and would be great for students to practice their sourcing skills.

The maps employ different persuasive tools like allegory and satire.
