How can we learn more about the role borders and police power play across the world by exploring a map? Read Police Stops: Mapping Borders and Power on the Out of Eden Walk to find out.

National Geographic Society and Explorer Paul Salopek developed this Explorer Mapping Case Study using the Explorer Mapping Case Study organizer. This tool was created by National Geographic Explorers and educators to organize relevant information about complex maps into an inquiry-based story and series of questions. Maps and stories presented in this format can engage audiences and learners of all ages in map-based inquiry, drawing them into conversations about places and phenomena.

National Geographic invites all Explorers and educators to use the Explorer Mapping Case Study organizer, which is available as an Open Education Resource (OER), to develop case studies based on maps from their own work or educational planning.
