How a map changed the world
Just two centuries ago, the world lacked a single geologic map. The chronology of the planet’s history was unknown and effectively invisible to people, despite the evidence of rock layers at cliffs and canyons.
Theological maps of the world then depicted such biblical concepts as the Garden of Eden. Some people believed that mountains grew organically like trees.
The study of nature and rocks was a novelty Thinkers in the early 1800s disagreed over the age of the earth, with some standing by Bible-based estimates of 6,000 years old. Then along came the map that changed the world.
Created in 1815, the world’s first geological map measures 10 by 16 feet (3 by 5 meters) and illustrates the individual rock layers that underline Great Britain. One of only two U.S. copies is now on public display for the first time at the Buffalo and Erie Country Public Library in New YorkState.
Only 43 copies of the map still exist. The other U.S. copy at the Library of Congress, and it is not on public display.
I addition to the map, canal surveyor William Smith created a series of sketches and descriptions of the fossils found within each specific layer of rock. There are only 11 surviving copies of these pamphlets in the world.
“If geology were a religion, this map would be its bible” said University of Buffalo geologist Robert Jacobi.
