But meticulous attention to detail &ndash; like the mountain ranges Prevedel cranked out by hand for a fountainpen feel &ndash; tells a story they hope will take visitors back to the 19th century.<\/p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s exactly what I was hoping for, but I think it&rsquo;s even cooler than I imagined,&rdquo; FAM Curator of African American History and Special Projects Gaila Sims said of the map, part of a two-year exhibit titled &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/famva.org\/lafayettes-world-revolutionary-ideals-and-the-limits-of-freedom\/\">Lafayette&rsquo;s World: Revolutionary Ideals and the Limits of Freedom<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p><p>At 48 inches wide and 60 inches tall, it&rsquo;s one of the largest print maps Hanna has tackled. And that&rsquo;s saying a lot. An American Association of Geographers (AAG) cartography editor, his decades of bringing terrains and topographies to life have made him, Prevedel said, a &ldquo;wizard&rdquo; at map-making.<\/p><p>That&rsquo;s what led Sims, who became acquainted with his work while in grad school, to turn to Hanna, who turns often to students. He tapped Prevedel, who had worked alongside him as an AAG editorial assistant and on signage for the Fredericksburg Civil Rights Trail.<\/p><p>&ldquo;This wasn&rsquo;t going to be introductory work,&rdquo; Hanna said of the project, of which they are co-authors, with Prevedel &ndash; who used it also as her GIS capstone &ndash; receiving top billing.<\/p><div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":7,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2024\\\/03\\\/14\\\/umw-map-makers-bring-lafayettes-journey-to-life\\\/\",\"likes_blog_id\":230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"> <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px; height: 718px;\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-original-height=\"718\"> <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 602px; height: 718px;\" data-original-width=\"602\" data-original-height=\"718\"> <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2024\/03\/14\/umw-map-makers-bring-lafayettes-journey-to-life\/lafayettemap027\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"598\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"714\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"100640\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/lafayetteMap027-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2143,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"6.3\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"ILCE-7M3\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"1709052739\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"99\",\"iso\":\"5000\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0.003125\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"1\"}' data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/lafayetteMap027-251x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/lafayetteMap027-857x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/lafayetteMap027-scaled.jpg?w=598&amp;h=714&amp;ssl=1\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/lafayetteMap027-scaled.jpg 2143w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/lafayetteMap027-251x300.jpg 251w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/lafayetteMap027-857x1024.jpg 857w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/lafayetteMap027-768x917.jpg 768w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/lafayetteMap027-1286x1536.jpg 1286w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/lafayetteMap027-1715x2048.jpg 1715w\" width=\"598\" height=\"714\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"598\" data-original-height=\"714\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"\" alt=\"A map created by UMW senior Brooke Prevedel and Professor of Geography Steve Hanna is the focal point of a new exhibit at the Fredericksburg Area Musuem.
