Several articles in the Seattle Times between 1924 and 1936 herald Florence M. Mercer Porter's cartographic work. It was inspired by a need she witnessed daily in her position as head of the room registry department at the YWCA where she helped women find housing. She created a guide and directory to the city specifically designed to help newcomers learn to navigate Seattle's broken and twisted streets. She also developed a wall map to complement the guide, describing it as a map in which "one is enabled to instantly and exactly locate any address, and at the same time see all related information in getting to the place, or the surrounding interests of that locality." Just an amazingly detailed guide to the Seattle of a century ago! "When I was asked to establish a room registry department in the Y.W.C.A. for the purpose of helping girls and women to find suitable living quarters, I determined that no one would leave my office with a list of addresses without instructions as to where and how to go. Map-making has always been a hobby of mine since my early school days, when every history lesson had its background in geography, and each war period was represented as a panoramic picture of a series of battles and maneuvers of generals in the different sections of the country. When I took up professional work, whether as city missionary, pastor's assistant or Y.W.C.A. secretary, in every city for the past twenty years I started my program with a plat of the city and a registry of people in their localities. From Duluth, Minnesota Houston, Texas, I have traced maps, so it was quite the logical thing in planning to direct strangers over the city of Seattle, a city so generally misunderstood by residents and strangers alike, to draw a wall map with the necessary information, of residential sections, streets and street-car lines. It was the hardest city, with its broken and twisted streets and small courts and places, that I had ever come across, and required six weeks working night and day to produce a large wall map four and a half feet by six fee, from which, in my six years' service, twenty thousand people have been directed over the city in their search for living quarters, and each shown the place on the map and the car to take to get there." [article in the Seattle Daily Times, June 13, 1926, which refers specifically to the wall map which is the counterpart to the hand version offered here].
