Making Maps
In this photo from 1935, National Geographic's first chief of the Cartographic Division, Albert H. Bumstead (standing), checks details on an atlas while other staff members operate a photo-typesetter that Bumstead invented. The Cartographic Division has innovated mapmaking for more than a century.
