This map shows artificial objects on the surface of the Moon. The map does not include smaller objects like the golf balls from Alan Shepard's lunar driving practice during Apollo 14 or the Fallen Astronaut statuette left by the crew of Apollo 15.

Golf Anyone?

Links

Our first assignment is to post five links to geography related websites. The first two were chosen by the professor. The last three were my choice.

http://geog310.blogspot.com/ is our class website (Introduction to Digital Cartography). It has our professor's picture and a link to Census 2000 maps showing U.S. population and diversity maps.

http://www.gmu.edu/departments/geog is George Mason's Department of Geography website. It has a link for geography employers.

http://www.geoeye.com/ is the company for which I work. It is listed on the previous link as a geography employer in the private sector. GeoEye is currently hiring Geospatial Analysts in Dulles VA.

http://www.stopmountaintopremoval.org/ is a site dedicated to the stop of mountaintop removal. This is a cause to which I contribute and did a project on in my "Conservation of Natural Resources" class. People should be educated on the toxicity and destructive nature of "clean coal".

http://gos2.geodata.gov/wps/portal/gos is the geodata.gov website for U.S. Maps and data which contains federal, state and local geographic data. This site has a lot of special interest pages for real world geography.
