February Maps Displays in Ball State University Libraries

February Map Displays in the GRMC

The “Map of the Month” in the Ball State University Geospatial Resources & Map Collection for February is this map of Vatican City or the Holy See. This detailed map was published by the Central Intelligence Agency and shows the location of the radio station, the post office, and the Papal Printing Office. Vatican City is located completely within the city of Rome, Italy. As the world’s smallest country, it makes sense to feature this map during the year’s shortest month.

Other maps featured in the windows of the GRMC as "Maps in the News" are maps of Cuba and the world’s newest country, Kosovo.

For more information about these maps, please contact the GRMC in Bracken Library at 765/285-1097.
