Description: The map indicates the progress of geographical discovery from approximately 500 years before Christ through about 1900 AD. "The mapsÉindicate the gradual growth of man's knowledge of the world after he became civilized enough to leave such a record of what he knew upon the subject. From the first map tell in what part of the world man first became civilized enough to leave such a record." —Redway, 1898.
