A nifty and short introduction by a master cartographic historian offering a brief overview of maps of the "Metroplex." If you live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, or you like maps, you'll enjoy this book. Each map, from Pineda's 1519 chart of the Gulf Coast to a 2004 road atlas, is shown or shown in detail, along with a black and white sketch map to clarify the way the Metroplex fits into the region.
