Lighthouses of the United Kingdom. I rather like how this turned out. And it didn't take 42 hours. 😅

👀 Stunningly unique cartographic artwork unveiled at the new airport concourse in Grand Rapids, MI yesterday. When visitors stand in a particular location, the seemingly random light bulb placement aligns with cities in the Great Lakes. #cartography #MapsInTheWild #geography

My new wall map "East Asia and the Pacific: Viewed from Eurasia" is now available for free (CC BY-NC 2.0) as a high-resolution download. Prints well at 20"x30" or larger. Thanks to everyone who provided helpful comments during many revisions.

This @mtbachelor trail map is one of the last I tackled before my retirement. It was quite a challenge to depict terrain on the slope of a massive shield volcano. This ski resort is still humming right along with over 70 trails open!

#Sudan 🇸🇩 MAP: The *approximate* situation in Sudan as of 22:00 on 16/04/2023.
Note that the situation is still very fluid and this map is only an indication of the approximate territorial balance of power across the country.

The Heart of the Teton range by @taitmaps looks like just another nice map of the mountains, but zoom in. The detail is honed for climbers. There's nothing like it. It's exquisite, and functional in a way no other map to date has been.

I have been putting more time in to improve my cartography skills lately, and recently made this map on arctic seafloor geomorphology (data source: GRID Arendal). Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
