Communication History Across America Maps
Throughout history, maps have been able to communicate exact locations, points, important dates, places, degrees, etc. This was very important throughout the technology advances of communication. For example maps were made that showed the location of Telegraph and Telephone lines, this made it easier for people, businesses, and companies to know where they can communicate. The maps also helped railroad companies and trains, to know where they can set up routes that will have telegraph lines in their path, so that trains can communicate.
