The OSS’s Wartime Cartographers

GSU Magazine, which I think is the alumni magazine of Georgia State University, has a short article about geographer Jeremy Crampton’s research on the work of cartographers in the Office of Strategic Services (the predecessor of the CIA) during World War II. Note the cameo appearance by Arthur Robinson. Via MapHist.

The OSS’s Wartime Cartographers first appeared on The Map Room: A Weblog About Maps on November 29, 2010. Copyright
