"Taking its name from the subtitle of William Least Heat-Moon's PrairyErth (a deep
map), the "deep-map" form of nonfiction and environmental writing defines an innovative
and stratigraphic literary genre. Proposing that its roots can be found in Great Plains
nonfiction writing, Susan Naramore Maher explores the many facets of this vital form
of critique, exploration, and celebration that weaves together such elements of narrative
as natural history, cultural history, geography, memoir, and intertextuality. Maher's
Deep Map Country gives readers the first book-length study of the deep-map nonfiction
of the Great Plains region, featuring writers as diverse as Julene Bair, Sharon Butala,
Loren Eiseley, Don Gayton, Linda Hasselstrom, William Least Heat-Moon, John Janovy
Jr., John McPhee, Kathleen Norris, and Wallace Stegner. Deep Map Country examines
the many layers of storytelling woven into their essays: the deep time of geology
and evolutionary biology; the cultural history of indigenous and settlement communities;
the personal stories of encounters with this expansive terrain; the political and
industrial stories that have affected the original biome and Plains economies; and
the spiritual dimensions of the physical environment that press on everyday realities."
; "Scholarly study of Great Plains nonfiction writers in the genre of "deep mapping",
a genre that weaves together strata of narrative that includes natural history, cultural
history, geography, memoir, and inter-textual material"
