The Art of Geography maps help provide a sense of place.
Maps are supreme information design challenges containing many layers of spatial information melded together into a flat, 2D document. Our philosophy is to use every design tool available to present geographic information as clearly and elegantly as possible.
Over the past ten years we have evolved a unique and compelling shaded relief map style which has proven popular with hikers, mountain bikers, runners, and even other map-makers. This style has been progressively refined as a result of feedback from map users. Art of Geography maps are the official map at a number of California State Parks.
Maps remind us of where we’ve been and where we’d still like to go.
