Rand McNally and Company became a preeminent publisher of maps and atlases in Chicago in the 1870s and 1880s, then ventured into globe making in the 1890s, and continues in business today. As noted by scholar and librarian Cynthia H. Peters, the company "has become synonymous with mapmaking in American life," and their success highlights the movement of the American map publishing industry's center of gravity from the East to the Midwest."
The Rand McNally isothermic globe owes much to the work of Van Humboldt (1769-1859), one of the most distinguished names in the history of geography. In 1817 he published a paper on the subject of isotherms using his definition of "curves drawn through points of the globe which receive an equal quantity of heat".
