Twenty maps, covering eras from pre-Columbian America to the Vietnam War, feature switchable layers that display or conceal pertinent information and form the basis for lessons that have students build from a bare, unlabeled map to synthesize historical and geographic knowledge.

For example, the Underground Railroad map begins with a political map of the U.S. and its territories in 1860, and allows users to turn on and off overlays indicating the status of slavery in each state and territory, as well as common escape routes to the northern U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Each standards-based lesson can be conducted as a whole-class or individual activity, and provides an outline version of its corresponding map, overview, enduring understanding(s), essential question(s), procedures, background, assessment, extensions, and student handouts.
