Paper Towns

Have you ever visited the town of Whitewall in California, or Agloe in New York, or Relescent in Florida? 

They are clearly marked on many old maps of the USA…but they aren’t real!

Early mapmakers included these “paper towns” to catch forgers who copied their work.

If you had to make up a town, what would you call it??
