In 1994, Kevin Healey, an Austrailian cartographer, came to Vancouver to

observe how we were trying to create maps entirely on desktop computers. I had

received some incredulous correspondence about my first map of Tokyo. Kevin

was doubtful, as well as intrigued, by the possibilities that my map presented.

Anyway, Kevin decided to visit and see for himself. While waiting for him to

arrive, I completed Rio de Janeiro and Mongolia, both of which provided

opportunities to handle problems common to cartographers. The Rio map became

a test case for complex typesetting and the Mongolia map tested contouring and

hydrography. I asked Kevin to proofread the Rio map but he was reluctant as it

would have taken several weeks to do so using traditional methods. He was

amazed that we edited about 1,800 streets in two hours. Kevin then began to

prepare to do this map. Unfortunately, Kevin fell critically ill and died before he

could try this new technology.

In my short time with Kevin, I was impressed with his knowledge and in

reading his correspondence realized he was admired by those who used his

products and expertise.

I dedicate this map to Kevin Healey.

VOLCANOES: Along the Pacific fault line of the Central American land bridge one is rarely out of site of a volcano. More

than 350 brood above fertile slopes or petrified lava fields, most no more than dark extinct mounds or overgrown cones no

longer a threat to the lives of surrounding populations. Some have reared up and returned to slumber in relatively recent times,

perhaps emitting a waft of steam occasionally to reinforce their uncertain status. But at least twenty of the Isthmus¡¯ volcanoes

are presently classified as ¡®active¡¯, and many hot sulphur springs and geothermal fields along Highway CA-1, combined with

the daily earth tremors to which Central America is prone, leave no doubt about the continuous seismic activity going on

beneath the green valleys, dramatic lava rock formations, lofty caldera lakes and teeming cities of the region. One of the best

recorded life histories of a volcano is that of Izalco, one of a clutch south of Santa Ana, El Salvador. On 23 February 1770,

the earth began rumbling and shaking; terrified villagers watched the ground spew out ash and molten lava which in time

grew into a 6000-foot mountain. For 187 years Izalco erupted almost continuously, its displays so regular and visible far out

to sea that it became known as the ¡°Lighthouse of the Pacific¡±. Construction of a hotel at neighbouring Cerro Verde, designed

to allow the jet set to view the awesome spectacle in comfort, was almost complete in 1957 when Izalco abruptly ceased

activity. Apart from a minor eruption in 1961, the volcano has shown no further life. Only a ragged wisp of smoke now curls

from the crater at irregular intervals, proof that the volcanoes of the Pacific Rim come with no guarantee of good behaviour!

The most accessible active volcanoes are: COSTA RICA ¡ª Po¨¢s, with its sides wreathed in an enchanted cloud forest and

Arenal, the most spectacular of them all, especially at night when glowing lava bounces down the slopes accompanied by

crashes and deep rumblings (¡°like someone moving furniture upstairs¡±); NICARAGUA ¡ª Santiago or Masaya, whose crater

collapsed in 1986 poisoning the soil as far as the coast; activity now is intermittent; GUATEMALA ¡ª Pacaya, which can be

viewed from the dormant crater adjacent to it and Fuego, a stiff day¡¯s climb but with the reward of some colourful fireworks.

Great care and common sense should be exercised when climbing active volcanoes; Arenal in particular has an impressive

number of lives to its score! K.H.

INTER-AMERICAN HIGHWAY: The decision to build a great Pan-American Highway system tying

together far-flung ends of the Americas was ratified by the 21 affected nations at the International

Conference of American States in Buenos Aires in 1936, and construction began soon after. Today the

mostly paved network extends for 24,000 km from Fairbanks, Alaska to Ushuaia, Tierra del

Fuego¡ªone of the world¡¯s greatest road systems running through an unequaled cross-section of

geography, climate and humanity. The backbone of Central America¡¯s share of the Inter-American

Highway¡ªCA-1¡ªstretches 2460 km (1530 miles) from the Mexican border at La Mesilla to Panama

City, directly connecting all the region¡¯s capital cities except Belmopan and Tegucigalpa; it is fully

paved but some sectors are in a sadly deteriorated condition. The highway continues a further 60

paved kilometres to Chepo, then as 224 km of marginal gravel to its present end at Yaviza, the goal of

linking with Columbia having so far been thwarted by the rugged terrain of the Dari¨¦n ¡®Gap¡¯ and

international environmental pressure. CA-1 reaches its highest altitude (3670m) as it passes over the

bleak ridge (shining white with early-morning frosts) between Nahual¨¢ and San Crist¨®bal Totonicap¨¢n,

Guatemala, a section aptly known as ¡®Alaska¡¯. It again lifts fog-shrouded heights near Villa Mills, Costa

Rica, as it crosses the Continental Divide at 3490m between Cartago and San Isidro de El General¡ªa

far cry from the sweltering coastal plains of El Salvador and Panam¨¢. K.H.

LAGO DE NICARAGUA: Largest in Central America (8157 km2), Lake Nicaragua contains about

400 islands of all sizes, abundant bird life and a number of unique aquatic species, including rarelysighted freshwater sharks, tarpon and sawfish; these and others are believed to have evolved when the

lake was cut off from the Pacific by volcanic upheaval. The largest island, Ometepe, is a joining of two

smaller ones by lava flows from still active Volc¨¢n Concepci¨®n; a wide variety of crops are raised in

the exceptionally rich soil. In the southeastern corner of the lake is the scattered Solentiname

Archipelago, home to many poets, craftsmen and an established school of primitive painting. Only the

R¨ªo San Juan flows out of the lake, a thickly-forested and well-traveled route to the Caribbean which has

long featured in plans for a new Trans-Isthmus Canal. Foreign pirates intent on attacking Granada and

Le¨®n used it extensively in colonial times, prompting the Spaniards to build the recently-restored Castillo

de la Concepci¨®n in 1672; many stormy battles were fought here¡ªperhaps the grimmest in 1762

when a 2000-strong force under Henry Morgan was repelled by the fortress¡¯ powerful guns¡ª

culminating in British capture and five-month occupation in 1780 under the young Captain Horatio

Nelson, who lost his eye during this engagement. K.H.

MANAGUA: City with a ghostly centre, Nicaragua¡¯s capital sits on the shore of Lake Managua

(Xolotl¨¢n) in a less-than-perfect location¡ªhot, humid and at the mercy of a petulant geological fault

line. Most recent in a long series of natural catastrophes affecting western Nicaragua was the

earthquake of December 1972, which flattened Managua and killed at least 18,000 people;

rebuilding has been retarded by the lack of funds and the urgent demands of the recent civil war.

Within the city limits is one of Central America¡¯s most unusual ¡®archaeological sites; the Huellas

(¡°Footsteps¡±) de Acahualinca. Beautifully preserved tufa are the 7000¨C9000-year-old footprints of at

least 17 prehistoric humans, crisscrossed by those of animals (including extinct bison). Were they

fleeing a volcanic eruption? The women¡¯s footprints sank deeper into the mud than those of the men;

were they carrying children or worldly possessions? The questions thrown up by this poignant glimpse

into the distant past remain unanswerable. K.H.

LE?N: Nicaragua¡¯s capital for 300 years until 1858, the graceful, church-studded city of Le¨®n is home

to Central America¡¯s largest cathedral, a massive edifice said to have been built in error; according to

local wisdom, plans for the cathedral in Lima and a more modest basilica in Le¨®n were mixed up on

the voyage out from Spain! Holy Week ceremonies here are particularly impressive. While in the slow

process of recovering from damage caused during the 1978-79 Revolution, Le¨®n received a further

blow on 9 April 1992 when nearby Volc¨¢n Cerro Negro dumped a choking layer of ash and sand on

the region; many buildings collapsed under the weight, leaving hundreds homeless. K.H.

MOSQUITO COAST - ¡°Nicaragua is two countries¡ªthe Pacific and the Atlantic¡±, it is widely said,

and the nation¡¯s eastern wilderness remains a world apart from politics and modern development of the

Laguna

Gracias a Dois western cities. These heavily-forested tropical lowlands, stretching well into eastern Honduras, were

never colonized by Spain but were instead annexed by Britain in 1687 as the Miskito Kingdom at the

request of Miskito Indian leaders; their ¡®Kings¡¯ were crowned with due pomp in the Protestant

¡®cathedral¡¯ at Bluefields. Legacies of this 200-year Protectorate endure still in the architecture, the wide

spread use of English and the presence of many black Creoles originally brought over from the

Caribbean islands. (During the Civil War, Lincoln offered the newly-emancipated blacks a homeland of

their own in eastern Nicaragua: the proposal was rejected.) Although the Caribbean coast is a

Laguna

paradise of dazzling beaches and idyllic offshore cays, and the jungle teams with undisturbed wildlife,

Bismuna

only a few hardy travelers reach this part of Central America¡ªindeed, outsiders are banned from

many areas, such as mining settlements around Bonanza and Siuna. Only one road leads east into

Barra de Tukru

Mosquit¨ªa: the paved road to the small settlement of Rama, from where most visitors take the famous

¡°Bluefields Express¡±¡ªan overcrowded riverboat¡ª96 km down the R¨ªo Escondido to the Caribbean

Bismuna Tara

port of Bluefields (named for 17th century Dutch pirate Abraham Blaauwveld). Both towns were

severely damaged by Hurricane Joan in 1988 but are steadily being rebuilt. From here the offshore

¡°Corn Islands¡± (Islas del Maiz) are accessible: two English-speaking islands of white sand and palms,

fringed by white coral and crystal water¡­the perfect Caribbean retreat! K.H.
