A new specialist in cartography has emerged on the internet: Dr. Map. Possessing a cartographic license, he boldy answers questions about maps. The topics are fascinating and the facts would make good dinner or dating conversation starters. (The television program The Bachelor has expressed interest in negotiating rights to the information.) More parochially, the material in Dr. Map’s answers would be excellent for the next APCG Geography SuperBowl. Undergraduate Anders Nelson deserves enthusiastic applause for designing and building the website — and maintaining secrecy against the paparazzi who hound him to reveal the identity of Dr. Map. Photos were taken by Susanna Baumgart, but she was blindfolded during the shoot, so can give no information about who Dr. Map might really be.
