Geography is the study of the Earth's surface, and of the spatial distribution and patterns of its physical and human characteristics. Geographers study how natural and cultural processes work to create distinct spaces, places, landscapes, and regions.
Look at what we found for tomorrow's map giveaway. Just in time for Christmas - Bethlehem (PA) and Nazareth (PA)! Come have a look at the maps we have. Starting Tuesday, November 24 at 8 a.m.

We are back! Tues-Thurs (11/25-27) Geography & Environmental Studies invites you to browse through & take any available map from the allotted topographical maps. We have a number of surpluses from both Canada & the US. Great for posters or crafting. Each batch we put out are from a different series.
