Abstract
A compendium of newspaper articles, unusual footnotes, quotations from literary and scientific and other works, and other forms of writing is used to create a construct related to the nature of maps, mapmaking and the flat earth concept. Mapmaking terms, such as coordinates, latitude, minutes, boundaries, scale, projections, elevations and legend, used as headings, serve to pull the disparate pieces into an integrated whole dealing with the writer, the reader and the gap between them as they map what they cannot see.
