Ten of the greatest maps that changed the world From the USSR's Be On Guard! map in 1921 to Google Earth, a new exhibition at the British Library charts the extraordinary documents that transformed the way we view the globe forever By PETER BARBER, Head of Map Collections at the British Library Updated: 21:00 GMT, 8 May 2010 The infant USSR was threatened with invasion, famine and social unrest. Using a map of European Russia and its neighbours, Moor's image of a heroic Bolshevik guard defeating the invading 'Whites' helped define the Soviet Union in the Russian popular imagination. 2. It's said that Columbus used this map or one like it to persuade Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile to support him in the early 1490s. The map was made by a German cartographer living in Florence and reflects the latest theories about the form of the world and the most accurate ways of portraying it on a flat surface. It seemed to prove that, as Columbus argued, there wasn't a great distance between Europe and China by sea. 5. 10.

100,000 Stars It's a small world The small world as seen through a scanning electron microscope. The Photonics Research Group of Ghent University-IMEC has fabricated a world map on a scale of 1 trillionth. Using CMOS fabrication tools, IMEC has reduced the 40-thousand-kilometer circumference at the equator down to 40 micrometer, about half the width of a human hair. The map is put in a corner of a optical silicon chip designed for one of the group's research projects on nanophotonic integrated circuits. Scale of the world map. On the technical side The world map was defined on a silicon photonics test chip in IMEC’s clean-room for 200mm processing, using the same high-resolution optical lithography techniques as used for microelectronics fabrication, and the fabrication consisted of a 30-step process including layer depositions and chemical etching steps on a silicon-on-insulator wafer.
