The map created by Olaus Magnus was printed on NINE woodblocks, with each complete map made up of nine sheets of paper, which when trimmed and joined formed a map about 4 feet high by 5 _ feet wide!

Students from the Freshman Map Seminar study Olaus Magnus' map and give a perspective as to its size and shape.
