title: All Over the Map: An Extraordinary Atlas of the United States : Featuring Towns That Actually Exist!
author: David Jouris
description: Jouris, whose maps are in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress, has created an unusual thematic atlas consisting of 33 black-and-white maps that identify towns and cities of the continental United States by topic name rather than by geographical location. Prefaced by brief explanations of how some of the towns were named, maps ranging from animal names (Lions, La.) to Christmas themes (Santa Claus, Ind.) portray a unique view of American geography, Since state names are not written on individual maps, a map of the United States is provided at the front of the book. The atlas has no index, which limits its use for researchers, but it is an interesting book to pore over and one that will appeal to a wide audience of readers.
