Maps and empires have entangled histories. We study the Russian Empire through deep dives into some of the most important maps produced in the nineteenth century. Politics, ethnic tension, environmental change, the history of data—we dig into all of this and more. In the final unit we analyze (and map) the cholera epidemic of 1892—a public health crisis that swept across Europe and Asia.
