Our very own "Geog Gals" did great in today's tournament! They made it to the 2nd round and had a close loss to the team that won the whole tournament! Great Job and thank you so much for participating. All proceeds are helping the United Way of Santa Barbara County. ❤🌍 #ucsbgeography @ucsantabarbara #geographycares

Santa Barbara based Maps.com is excited to inaugurate International Map Day on February 3rd (Observance February 4). Why this date?
