About Jonathan Crowe
writing The Map Room, a blog about maps
I’ve been writing about maps at The Map Room, a blog covering everything from antique maps to modern geospatial technology, on and off since 2003. In 2025 I made the decision to go ad-free and rely on the support of my readers. Your one-time or recurring donation helps me to keep this project going. Follow The Map Room on Bluesky or Mastodon for updates.
My personal page archives a selection of blog essays and book reviews on other subjects, and serves as a portal to my publications and other projects. Follow my non-map adventures on Bluesky or Mastodon, or sign up for my newsletter.
