Beginner's Cartography


I've always been a fan of maps, especially maps as art (If you're a fan, be sure to check out this 1944 survey of the Mississippi river delta, one of my favorites). During class, inspiration struck and I came up with this graphic summarizing my summer climbing. It's almost too abstract to be practical, but too structured to stand purely as imagery. I'll push it in one direction or other keeping it updated as the summer progresses.

  1. you made that map?! (haha during class is always the best time to get things done.) i'm sure you can't disclose the legend here, but i am very intrigued as i try to picture each location and what each color signifies.

    seriously though, this is really impressive. maybe you should be an architect. or a graphic designer. or something like that.

  2. legend is just #buildings/block. hue changes as density increases, but thanks for the kind words. graphic design is my back up plan.
