The Society was founded in 1979. Since 1979 the Society has grown tremendously and our membership now includes current and former employees of Federal, state, and private map repositories; collectors with scholarly knowledge gained through years of study; individuals who enjoy selling maps - both old and new; and many members who simply love to learn about or collect maps. Membership is open to anyone who shares these common interests. The Portolan , the Society's journal, was established to keep members informed of upcoming meetings exhibitions, seminars and conferences; to provide listings of new books dealing with the history of cartography; and to provide information of specific interests to our membership. Members are encouraged to submit articles or reviews of speaker's lectures.

Extractions: "Hi, we'd like to have a mattress delivered," Lauren S., 14, said at the time. Now, she's recounting her first prank by talking into a makeshift phone of an extended thumb to ear, pinky to mouth, all the while treading water at the Woodrow Wilson Pool. At just 8 years old, she already had a schoolyard nemesis to send an unwanted mattress. But the deed wasn't unprovoked, she explains: "She was annoying and called me names." "At a Halloween party at school, I won second place for my costume, and she was all mad, calling me names and stuff," Lauren says. Legend has it the girl flipped out about the mattress delivery at school the following Monday, but never realized who'd done it. What if she had known? "She would've called me some names," Lauren speculates, "and I would've sent her another mattress."

And here is a link to a list of the 246 Place Names in Washigton Co., PA Background Washington County is found in the extreme southwest corner of Pennsylvania. Of the four major geographic regions in the state, Washington Co. is on the Allegheny Plateau. The Allegheny Plateau covers roughly half the state, that half bounded in the east by the ridges of Allegheny mountains. Rolling hills delineated by creeks or "runs" and punctuated by springs comprise the area which was originally hardwood forest. The primeval forest supported black bear, elk, moose, deer, panthers, wildcats, wolves, wild ducks and geese, ruffed grouse, quail, pheasants, turkeys, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, skunks, and woodchucks. This part of the state drains into the Ohio river system. The Monongahela River, which flows northward to join the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh and form the Ohio River, forms Washington County's eastern boundary.

http://www.okanogan1.com/natural/ecology/plantgeog.html

Extractions: Originally published in the Methow Naturalist, 1999 I am convinced that He [God] does not play dice . - Albert Einstein Plants are not evenly distributed along the Methow Valley. Some plants are Methow specialties which reach their zenith here: arrowleaf balsamroot, chocolate tips, swale desert parsley . . . Other plants of wide occurrence elsewhere are perplexingly absent here: vine maple, nine-leaf biscuit root, camas . . . The changing floral composition is not smoothit is abrupt and dramatic. These anomalies are part of the fascinating topic of plant geography. Some plant families have centers of distribution which radiate outward. Examples include penstemons, which are centered near the Wallowa Mountains, desert-parsleys centered in eastern Washington, onions in eastern Oregon, loco-weeds in Nevada, and Mariposa lilies in northern California. While the Methow Valley does not appear to be a center of distribution for any plant families, we are close enough to the boundaries of other distribution centers to have specialized variations present in our flora. For example, the Chelan, or frosty penstemon, and cat's ears (related to the Mariposa lilies) are both endemic to our region, and prominent locally. Once a species finds a new niche, its population may rapidly expand. At least one of our rare plants appears to be increasing its numbers this way. This plant, the pink dandelion, appears to be a recent hybridization event between two related native species.

Extractions: By Paul Goble Washington, 25 October 1999 (RFE/RL) The information revolution sweeping the world today is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation, one which appears likely to generate far more dramatic social, economic, and political consequences than many of the originators of this revolution had expected. Like the industrial revolution of two centuries ago, the revolution in information technology has gone from an initial stage in which people were able to do what they had been doing more easily and quickly to a second one in which people are able to do things that they have never done before. That shift, management theorist Peter F. Drucker argues in the current issue of the U.S. journal "Atlantic Monthly," is going to transform the relationship of human communities to geography. But while the second stage of the industrial revolution helped knit countries together, the second stage of the current information revolution threatens to undermine the meaning and even existence of the modern nation state. In his article, Drucker describes how the industrial revolution proceeded in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and then uses that as a model for describing the period of rapid change that computers and the Internet have ushered in.
