Mennonite Life Visitors Center - Maps

There was a video in the downstairs of the Mennonite Life Visitors Center. When we went down there, it indicated that it started on the half hour, so we had a few minutes before it would be starting. We saw some information on the walls in the basement, and one of the items we found very interesting was a map.

Although I have heard about a different format for a world map, I had not seen one in person.

The purpose of the map in the Mennonite Life Visitors Center was to document the migration patterns of Mennonites through the years... but... looking at the map itself, does it look different from the ones you saw in school growing up?

Here are comparisons to the traditional Mercator maps:








We found this map to be fascinating, and all but missed the start of the video examining it! 

We enjoyed the video too!
