People who love maps are interested in something specific: the relationship between where things are and why they ended up there. The rivers that determined where cities got built. The borders that moved because of wars nobody remembers. The old names for places that still exist in the names of streets and neighborhoods. They slow down at antique stores when there are old maps on the wall. They notice when a country's shape is wrong on a decorative globe. They have at least one framed map somewhere in their home that they can talk about for ten minutes if given the opportunity. The gift for them is something that feeds this specific and genuine enthusiasm, whether it's an object that is beautiful as a map and meaningful as a piece of geographic history, or something that takes the interest somewhere new.
