You know how I love maps, so you'll be unsurprised that I was persuaded to buy a clear plastic globe at a local antique and curio shop when the owner said "when you look through it you can see all the rivers." Before railroads and airplanes, rivers were the way to go. Flows, not boundary lines, defined the world.
