Ode to the Map Room

Disclaimer: We did actually do a lot of work in the map room this summer.  In fact, we did this much – http://www.nps.gov/yell/historyculture/upload/archive_maps9-11-09.pdf – 500 pages of inventory, plus weeding duplicates, and compiling misplaced sets.

Now that we’ve cleared that up, the map room was a place for mild insanity to thrive – it was like a sensory deprivation chamber that made us all a little loony.  The fact that we would find materials such as the following only made the silliness worse.

But it did make things more fun, too.

^^^ We did not do that. It's just a stellar example of professionalism in times past.

A valid point, indeed.

Hey, it was funny at the time.

The infamous fire map. This is only one of the many offensively entertaining captions on said map.

O, Map Room … you were an interesting place.
