When the Emperor Was Divine: The Road to Internment. GIS-generated map

Description:

This map follows the family’s route to the Topaz internment camp as described in Julie Otsuka’s book. All places referenced in the map are mentioned in the novel. The cartographers have based this route on comparisons with two maps published by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1936 and 1943, assuming that the train carrying the family followed the same tracks.
