Abstract
An exhibit that commemorates the gift of Fort Worth native, Virigina Garrett, of her map collection to the University of Texas at Arlington. The Garrett Collection encompasses approximately 900 maps dating from Europe's early contact with the New World in the early 1500s and extending into the early 20th century. The maps include world, hemisphere, regional, Republic of Texas, and state views, as well as a few specialist county and city views. With the exception of the country and city maps, most of other maps share one common attribute - they depict the Gulf of Mexico.
