Books are already available from other cartographers for Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Columbus, and the Great Lakes — Chicago and Boston also coming soon. Check them out!
#30daymapchallenge | Day 28 Black | Road America 🏁
The Road America racetrack stylized like the ubiquitous black + white license plates we all know.
Part of last year’s series, I got many requests to make this one a print, pushing me to figure out full bleed printing with solid black background.
#30daymapchallenge | Day 29 Raster | Algal Bloom
Raster isn’t my particular area of cartographic expertise… but here’s a stylization of Sentinel 2 imagery capturing a particularly gnarly algal bloom in May 2023. This particular event led to beach closures quite early in the summer season.
It takes a LOT of ink, but the result is an almost silky matte finish that is even cooler to see in person. It’s been quite the popular print all summer and so far into holiday gifting season!
#30daymapchallenge | Day 30 Makeover | Madison in 50 Maps!
After four years of making maps of our incredible city, I’m very excited to share that I’m writing a book! As part of the @beltpublishing.bsky.social “50 Maps” series, I’ll be the author of the forthcoming Madison edition.
A few examples: Shorewood Hills incorporated in 1927 to maintain its village character; Monona became a city in 1969 after decades of resisting annexation; and Fitchburg incorporated in 1983 specifically to prevent being absorbed by Madison.
#30daymapchallenge | Day 27 Boundaries | Not Madison
Wisconsin was divided in the early–mid 1800s using the Public Land Survey System, carving the territory into 6mi square townships. As Madison grew, many nearby areas chose to incorporate to avoid annexation & keep control over local decisions.
#30daymapchallenge | Day 26 Transport | Bike Map of Madison 🚲
Probably my most elaborate map to date, I launched my “Bike Map of Madison” as a print earlier this summer during @madisonbikes Bike Week. Now recently updated with the new @crono_madison location! ⭐
The Twin Cities' 15-minute neighborhoods — where you can live within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from all of modern life's necessities. Inspired by an excellent map of Madison made by @latlong.shop.
