This map is designated in honor of Ronald E. Grim Ph.D. in acknowledgement of his extraordinary contributions to the Norman B. Leventhal Map Center as Curator of Maps from 2005-2018. The map holds a special place in our hearts, as Ron recovered it through his vigilance and expertise after it was absent from the collection for 10 years. It will forever remind us of his presence here.
