Armin Kohl Lobeck (1886 - 1958) was an American geographer, cartographer, geologist, and artist based in New York City. Lobeck had a omnivorous approach to science and cartographer which reflected his educational background, studying botany and architecture in college and graduate school, both at Columbia University. After teaching at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy for several years, Lobeck returned to Columbia to pursue a Ph.D., awarded in 1917. During World War I, he was assigned to the State Department and worked to prepare physiographic maps of areas that would be critical to negotiating a peace at the end of the conflict. After the war, he taught at the University of Wisconsin – Madison for ten years, then returned to teach at Columbia as a Professor of Geology. He produced 'Physiographic Diagrams' of the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world that were very well-received and reissued in multiple editions. During World War II, Lobeck worked for the General Staff of the U.S. Army (G-2), and the Army Map Service.
