Elmer And Berta Hader - Map Artists

Elmer and Berta Hader made some wonderful cartoon maps that incorporated history, topography, and culture.

This is a pictorial map that contains timely culture, such as the center of travel in Kansas City...

What really initially attracted me to the map was the agricultural field pattern of Iowa...

A fun map!
