It’s a detailed, beautiful map that shows off hundreds of landform and maritime features, in a very traditional style. Yet, it does so with a highly interrupted, odd-looking projection I call the Asymmetric Monstrosity. It’s equal area, so the continents are shown in correct proportions, unlike some other popular wall maps. &nbsp;30 × 20in︎ Purchase ︎ Learn More <img width="1500" height="1098" width_o="1500" height_o="1098" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/133276a6437702f90ddd37553eda819d6f029cedf8c81bef1e0cd54d2d18e158/Framed-on-Fake-Wall.jpg" data-mid="238679607" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/133276a6437702f90ddd37553eda819d6f029cedf8c81bef1e0cd54d2d18e158/Framed-on-Fake-Wall.jpg" /> <img width="2178" height="1262" width_o="2178" height_o="1262" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fd810f7b3020bea53811b41d33c4fdfe5e3b58ea85510c23e5fc101539d808c0/ThumbTwo.jpg" data-mid="238679587" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fd810f7b3020bea53811b41d33c4fdfe5e3b58ea85510c23e5fc101539d808c0/ThumbTwo.jpg" /> <img width="2400" height="1600" width_o="2400" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/38c51a84bbe2b3f8a93230226501be87c7215217b9f7597425fa3d431d2a01be/ThumbThree.jpg" data-mid="238679588" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/38c51a84bbe2b3f8a93230226501be87c7215217b9f7597425fa3d431d2a01be/ThumbThree.jpg" /> https://somethingaboutmaps.com/Terrain-Lines Tue, 29 Oct 2024 19:08:03 +0000 somethingaboutmaps https://somethingaboutmaps.com/Terrain-Lines Terrain Lines Modern Elevation Sketches It took me several months of tinkering and toolmaking to create this series of posters of iconic peaks (and other terrain), illustrated in a sketch style inspired by old hachure drawings.

The result is more of an abstract network representation than you would find on most maps, and it’s not meant to be taken too seriously — I would not recommend actually transiting through these rivers, as many portions of them are not navigable. But they do, nonetheless, connect us.Sizes vary.

Beyond that, though, I wanted to look at how to apply similar styling to terrain and vegetation. So here is my beloved homeland of Michigan, in a highly generalized and stylized form. Plenty of 45 and 90-degree angles abound.

But, Thomas Jefferson wanted it to. In 1784, he headed a committee that proposed how to divide up much of the modern-day Midwest into individual states. So, I decided to have some fun and see what one of these states might look like if it had ever come into being. While it’s based on real-world data, I did re-work the state highway system, adjusted some county names and boundaries to be more sensible, and came up with a flag. 18 × 24in︎ Purchase ︎ Learn More <img width="3500" height="2625" width_o="3500" height_o="2625" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/763051862f7051e666926c4398dce90c6f8294f1a51371229cbaf24b33750884/Metropotamia-03-24-17.jpg" data-mid="122152324" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/763051862f7051e666926c4398dce90c6f8294f1a51371229cbaf24b33750884/Metropotamia-03-24-17.jpg" /> <img width="3360" height="1890" width_o="3360" height_o="1890" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/52dbf7844d89a987213e23af3de6d1b60b1eca0d5570ec2ad32ae2cbc0392d41/1b9.jpg" data-mid="236650175" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/52dbf7844d89a987213e23af3de6d1b60b1eca0d5570ec2ad32ae2cbc0392d41/1b9.jpg" /> <img width="3360" height="1890" width_o="3360" height_o="1890" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b35f3feac6dcd775c2faec1390c268024b6dc1e282be94eb4898574f16a9869a/1ab9.jpg" data-mid="236650176" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b35f3feac6dcd775c2faec1390c268024b6dc1e282be94eb4898574f16a9869a/1ab9.jpg" /> (These are simulated images, your print will have finer-quality halftones, but I wanted to show off this piece in a way that looked more “printed”)
