Late Propaganda Maps on View at KSU Campus
Two German propaganda maps owned by Mrs. Adelaide Blough of Lakewood are displayed in Room 466 McGilvrey Hall. One European map uses bold colors and invented boundaries to portray Germans as the civilization center and even renames several old French cities. A North America map shows no state boundaries but marks strategic cities and towns. Dr. Hallock Raup calls the maps unusually precise.
