Chris Delcher (RPCV El Salvador, 1998-2000) is trying to find the maps and mapmakers of the Peace Corps. Many Volunteers are trained to make community maps while in service. These maps range from the hand-drawn variety that live in tattered journals to very sophisticated maps created with digital Geographic Information Systems.

Chris's own hand-drawn maps focused on public health by displaying the problem of minimal latrine coverage in his town but volunteers from all Peace Corps programs are using maps for many reasons.

No matter the size or sophistication, if you have a map (or even a picture of you next to a map that you have created) from your service or know an RPCV who does, please contact Chris at cddelcher@comcast.net.
