"There are three cartography firms in the city, a number which would be insupportable in even the largest of normal metropolises. For a city that changes as quickly as this one, however, it is barely enough. From the beginning there were subtle differences between the city pre- and post-Exile, aside even from the obvious (such as the elision of all memory and record of the city's name); certain cul-de-sacs abruptly became through-streets, alleys became thoroughfares, and walkways opened between buildings which had once shared common walls. Overnight on May Day of 1969 a large tower--formed, an analysis later showed, of solid volcanic rock--appeared in the intersection of Orange Street and Adams Avenue downtown (see p.89 for more on the 'Black Tower'), creating a would-be traffic circle for the herds of derelict cars lining the city streets. (May 1st has always been a significant date in the city, such that certain inhabitants refuse to leave their homes after midnight on April 30 in anticipation of some cataclysm like the May Day Earthquake or the May Day Buffalo Manifestation.) Two weeks later, the enclave now known as the Rising Sun neighborhood appeared in the midst of Lakeside, bringing with it a great number of former Tokyo residents, homes and all. . . . It is rare that a month passes without some appearance of, say, a Kinshasa slum or a market from the heart of Ulaan Bator. At the very least many shadowy figures have made sudden appearances here, with or without their places of residence. Most are sorcerers of one stripe or another. Some have become prominent citizens, working with the Gemini Society or the Mayor's Department of Uncanny Activity. Others have been scourges to the citizenry; the necromancer Nigel Ravenswood comes to mind, and the pyromaniacal Cyril de Saavedra. . . . All this accretion of avenues, not to mention denizens and their habitations, keeps the cartographers of Kane Sisters, Mighty Maps, and Swenson and Sing very busy. On occasion their tripartite rivalry has resulted in open conflict, although mostly it is limited to the exchange of vitriol in the pages of Streetwise Journal, known as the most regularly published of the city's scholarly journals (as well as the least regimented about peer reviews). The primary item of debate is the question of whether the city is in fact expanding with the addition of real estate, or whether the city streets have in fact been shrinking incrementally over the years, keeping the total area of the Exile constant. Swenson and Sing hold the former opinion, Kane Sisters the latter. The cartographers of Mighty Maps, a firm made up primarily of former garbage gangsters, claim a preference for focusing on the practical rather than the theoretical, and publish more maps than journal articles. . . . For now, there is enough business from the city and various trade concerns to sustain all three firms in varying levels of prosperity." (p.280)

On Friday, May 18, 2018, CBMM hosted a preview party and reception for its newest exhibition, Exploring the Chesapeake: Mapping the Bay. The special exhibition continues through March 17, 2019 only.
Exploring the Chesapeake: Mapping the Bay looks at the different ways the Chesapeake Bay has been portrayed over time through mapping and charting, beginning with European exploration in the 16th century and continuing with the growth of settlement in the region in the 17th and 18th centuries. Scientific surveying methods brought improved accuracy in the 19th century, and special purpose maps (railroad maps, tourist guides) proliferated in the 20th century. More recent decades have introduced satellite imagery, geographic information systems, and Google maps, which continue to change how we view and understand this special region. The exhibition will present changes in maps over time as an expression of what people were seeking in the Chesapeake: natural resources, transportation, and more. This exhibition is generously sponsored by Ellen and Norman Plummer and the Maryland State Arts Council.
This feature will integrate mapping functionality into OpenPublic, a Drupal distribution that's built specifically for the government. openpublicapp.com/

Nick Goumas, Research & Development Engineer, and Gideon Billings, Robotics Ph.D. Student at the DROP Lab (droplab.engin.umich.edu) prepare tests on the underwater robot the night before testing on the Great Lakes.
The overall project goal is to develop a proof of concept that autonomous underwater vehicles can conduct image surveys.
