		And of course I was aware of the legend that Abe Lincoln and Ann Rutledge sang from the Missouri Harmony, at New Salem.

	Historic Maps in K-12 Classrooms - Module 16 Curator's Notes
		The economic viability of the landownership map and atlas was due in large measure to the widespread adoption of lithography, a relatively cheap and simple method of mass-producing maps, by American commercial publishers from the late 1840s.
		One particular advantage of the new technique over the established copperplate and woodcut techniques was that it made it possible for a draftsman to directly transfer a right-reading image to a printing "stone." Thus, even a relatively unskilled cartographer could produce clear-if not always elegant-printed maps from quickly sketched drafts.
		The Edwardsville, Illinois, firm of W.R. Brink and Co. was particularly well known for its charming depictions of entire individual farmsteads, which supplemented its many county atlases.

	sociology - Abraham Lincoln
		Later that year, hired by New Salem businessman Denton Offutt and accompanied by friends, he took goods from New Salem to New Orleans via flatboat on the Sangamon, Illinois and Mississippi rivers.
		The centerpiece of his platform was the undertaking of navigational improvements on the Sangamon in the hopes of attracting steamboat traffic to the river, which would allow sparsely populated, poor areas along and near the river to grow and prosper.
		McLean County argued that the state had no authority to grant such an exemption, and it sought to impose taxes on the railroad notwithstanding.

	Lincoln's Survey
		He was appointed deputy county surveyor for Sangamon County, Illinois from 1834-37.
		It should be pointed out that Lincoln’s surveying compass, which is now owned by the State of Illinois and is on display in the visitor’s center at New Salem, resembled a modern transit, with a single support pole and a sighting device, and was capable of measuring angles within a few minutes of arc.
		Today, in 2002, there is but one engineer/surveyor in the Illinois General Assembly--and he is referred to by his fellow legislators as "that engineer guy." Lincoln surely would have received similar deference when it came to authorizing state roads and appropriating money for transportation infrastructure.
