Texas Map Society Fall Meeting October
2-4, 2009
Humboldt's Legacy: Measuring the World The annual Fall Meeting of the Texas map Society (TMS) will be held on October 2-4, 2009, in Arlington, Texas, the heart of the North Texas Metroplex. the TMS commemorates the 150th anniversary of the death of Alexander von Humboldt by celebrating this remarkable man whose influence dominated United States' exploration and cartography for more than half a century between the time of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the American Civil War. The three day TMS meeting promised us an extraordinary opportunity to hear great speakers, see exciting and beautiful maps in both private and public collections, and engage in a unique opportunity to participate in a realistic recreation of Pioneer Texas Surveying.
