Five charming images showing employees of the National Geographic Society hard at work constructing their widely-disseminated maps, from a photo essay published by the Magazine in 1941.
One photo shows a disembodied pair of hands drawing hachures, shaded lines representing the extend and degree of sloping land on a mountain or hill. Another shows a different pair of hands adding the word "Kent" to a map of Maryland. This image is accompanied by the caption "A town is put on the map - literally." Another shows a man hard at work cutting "windows" as part of the layering process of map-making.
