The article focuses on four papers by the geographer, Ralph H. Brown. The writings of Brown in historical geography of the U.S. are among the notable contributions to American geography. His many articles, as well as his two major works, "Mirror for Americans," and "Historical Geography of the United States," demonstrate his concept of historical geography with eminent clarity and with scholarly regard for the origins of that concept. He observed existing geographic facts and he searched historical records.

The demand for more and greater variety in maps has brought about an expansion of established map-making facilities and the creation of new agencies, both private and government. This expanding activity has posed several problems, mass production techniques had to be improved, new inks, papers, and other materials were needed, and additional personnel had to be trained. In typical American fashion the new techniques, material, and the expanded facilities to house them were solved with relative ease, but, perhaps also typically American has been our lag in changing cartographic training to meet the needs of the present day. The objective of this article is the presentation of a cartographic training curriculum at the college level, which meets the needs of present day map-making.

In connection with planning for the future of an urban area, it is necessary to determine both the amount of land that should be set aside for the various major land uses and the logical pattern of distribution for these use requirements. This paper deals with the manufacturing phases of this general land problem in the Cincinnati metropolitan area (defined for this purpose as including the northern parts of Kenton and Campbell Counties, Kentucky, and all but the extreme western part of Hamilton County, Ohio).

Displays illustrating papers and graphic expositions not correlated with sessions have become an integral part of annual meetings of the Association of American Geographers. Exhibits at Cambridge, Massachusetts accented physical geography rather more and human geography rather less than has been the case in recent preceding years. In a number of cases comparable maps of physical and human phenomena were displayed side by side. This appears to indicate a pronounced interest in regional correspondence of phenomena.
