Motro Article – D.J. Helkowski

I found this article on the Israel-Palestine peace talks very interesting. It explains just how crucial mapmaking is in critical situations. So much was put forth into creating a map in order to speed up peace between Israel and Palestine. The mapmakers needed to focus on their audience, and use certain colors, formats, and cropping in order to make a perfect map for said audience. I found it very interesting how much attention to detail was needed to map area C. Four different draft maps were created just so one of them could be chosen to officially represent area C. I didn’t know much about this subject before I read the article, but it was very interesting to find out how vital maps were in the peace talks between Israel and Palestine.
