May 15, 2018 - Greg Miller: "Cold War Cartography"




 

Greg Miller

 

5:30 PM, Conference Room B2 Denver Public Library

This program is free and open to the community

	
During the Cold War, the Soviet military secretly launched one of the most
ambitious mapping programs ever undertaken.  These maps have only recently
come to light in the West, and they provide a fascinating look at how
American and European cities looked through the eyes of our Cold War
adversaries.  We'll look at several examples and compare them with American
maps made around the same time.  For anyone who lived through the Cold War,
these maps may bring back memories of those paranoid days of mutually
assured destruction.

Greg Miller is a science and technology journalist based in Portland,
Oregon.  He is the co-author of National Geographic's cartography blog, All
over the Map, and an upcoming book on mapmaking to be published by National
