Mapping is not just used to display geographical information, but can be an effective tool in a social/cultural context. Maps may be used to tell a story, reflect data, and promote certain industries/organizations. Our class mapped diversity on the SUNY New Paltz Campus and located certain events, organizations, and facilities to display sources of diversity relating to sexuality, race, sex, gender, and religion.
This village social map is a great example of how mapping can be used to explain the social layout of a community and individual households. The map can then be used to help the poor people and families in a community use their skills and existing resources to gain additional resources that will increase their standard of living.

Mapping can be a highly effective tool to help teach students about the society and community they live in. I think a great introduction project to social mapping would be to have students illustrate their family by creating a map about their family roles.
