Celebrating Geography and Map-making in Historic Science Hall

Visit Science Hall (c. 1888) to meet staff and students from Geography, the State Cartographer’s Office, and the WI Geological and Natural History Survey. The History of Cartography Project will display antique maps while the Cartography Lab showcases innovative map design. Wander our beautiful Robinson Map Library to find a map or air photo of a favorite site in WI or beyond! Explore the Geomorphology and Paleovegetation Labs. Check out student projects and join in map games.
