NPR: Alexander Murphy recalls visiting a Guatemala museum some years ago and gazing up at a huge relief map of the country. Something about the borders struck the University of Oregon geography professor as out of place. “And then I realized, 'Wait, all of Belize is shown as part of Guatemala,' “ Murphy says ... The University of Oregon's Murphy cites numerous examples where cartography is at the heart of ongoing political disputes.
