Lewis and Clark Maps from the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection
From the site: "The David Rumsey GIS Viewer allows on-line visitors a unique opportunity to easily interact with, integrate, and visualize these historic maps along with the modern geospatial data from NASA, USGS, ESRI and GCS Research. The modern geospatial data that can be overlaid and compared to the historical maps includes urban areas, transportation infrastructure (roads, rail), public land survey, lakes, parks, state boundaries, digital elevation models and satellite imagery.

These sketches show ranges of development, but your sketches should combine words and images to explicate your ideas (show a variety of ideas). Also note that the images themselves should be interesting and engaging.
