The map highlights local parks and recreational activities including scuba diving, golf, fishing, sailing, and surfing. <br><br> Maui, the second-largest island in Hawaii, has a rich history dating back to ancient Polynesian settlers. The island was first settled by Polynesians who navigated the Pacific Ocean using the stars, arriving in Hawaii around 400-800 AD. These early settlers developed a complex society with a strict social hierarchy and a subsistence economy based on fishing and agriculture. <br><br> In the late 18th century, European explorers arrived in Hawaii, with Captain James Cook being the first recorded European to visit Maui in 1778. The island later became a center for the whaling industry and a popular port for ships traveling between North America and Asia. <br><br> Lahaina, located on the west coast of Maui, was once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom in the early 19th century. It was also a major whaling port and a center of commerce. Today, Lahaina is a popular tourist destination known for its historic buildings, art galleries, and restaurants. <br><br> Kapalua, situated on the northwest coast of Maui, was once a plantation growing pineapples and coffee. In the 1970s, the area was transformed into a resort destination featuring world-class golf courses, luxurious accommodations, and pristine beaches. <br><br> Haleakala, a massive shield volcano that forms the eastern portion of Maui, is a significant feature of the island. The volcano's crater is a popular destination for hiking, stargazing, and watching the sunrise. In 1916, Haleakala National Park was established to protect the unique volcanic landscape and the endemic species that inhabit the area. <br><br>

Details	1959	Chase--Francis-J-	Pictorial-Map-of-Alaska--the-49th-State	Ernest Dudley Chase's "A Pictorial Map of Alaska, the 49th State" is a fascinating visual representation of Alaska's history and its journey to statehood. The map, created in 1959, celebrates Alaska's admission to the Union as the 49th state on January 3 of the same year. Chase's signature style, combining attractive illustrations with geographical information, provides a unique perspective on this momentous event in American history. <br><br> The Chase's map incorporates an alphanumeric grid system to help users easily locate specific points of interest. Surprisingly, the map retains its original advertising sticker, prominently displayed in the upper left corner, bearing a price of 50 cents. The presence of the sticker serves as a testament to its authenticity, further enhancing its overall value and desirability. <br><br> The map showcases various aspects of Alaskan life, including its natural resources, industries, and cultural heritage. Chase depicts the state's diverse landscapes, from the rugged coastlines to the majestic mountain ranges, highlighting the beauty and vastness of America's last frontier. <br><br> Chase's map also chronicles the historical events leading up to Alaska's statehood, such as the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, known as "Seward's Folly," and the discovery of gold in the late 19th century, which led to the Klondike Gold Rush. The map portrays the development of Alaska's major cities, including Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, as well as the growth of its industries, such as fishing, mining, and logging. <br><br>
