New Hampshire, Vermont and western Maine got a facelift recently when geology professor Wally Bothner undertook a painstaking restoration of a 12-by-16-foot wooden relief map created by state geologist Charles Hitchcock in the late 1800s. The map is now an eye-catching centerpiece of the restored James Hall, home of UNH's Earth sciences department.
