    Within the campus University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a geographer’s treasure trove: More than a million artifacts from the American Geographical Society, one of the most incredible collections of maps, atlases, and globes to be found anywhere in America.
    It’s an inconspicuous home for such a storied collection: This is the final resting place of the library of the illustrious American Geographical Society…”
