    Check out the latest Teacher Page blog on Literary Maps https://tpsteachersnetwork.org/album/40477-colorado-history

    The Language of the Land Exhibit might also help you discover literary resources divided by regions of the United States: https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/land/landover.html

    Some of the resources in the exhibition collection focus on literary works about a specific state or a map of a specific title such Huckleberry Finn http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/land/landsout.html#obj9 or the Last of the Mohicans http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/land/landnort.html#obj3

    Fairyland

    An anciente mappe of Fairyland https://www.loc.gov/item/2006628749/ 

    Lots of ideas to use these while reading a novel or look for titles to consider from your state.  Enjoy!

    I am so excited to see this.    I cruised through some examples and was thrilled to see the author maps from various states.  Just this morning my students (grad level) who are just starting to explore primary sources  were sharing ideas about Google Maps in conjunction with adding a primary source photo to their "place" on the class map.  There was discussion about using Google Maps with literature. SO. , . . this is an example of why The Network is helpful. 

    Thanks, Sherrie Galloway

    Thanks for pointing out the Literary Maps blog post posted on the TLC page, Sherrie Galloway !  I will be looking for that NCSS "Sources and Strategies" article for more ideas on using the Language of the Land exhibition.
