Essential Geography User Guide

Google Maps, left. The Essential Geography of the USA, right.

Most of the maps in our lives serve as aids to navigation. The Essential Geography serves as an aid to geographic understanding and appreciation. Use it to visualize the unique amalgamation of landforms, water and human culture that define places and regions. 

Traditional wall maps, like United States by National Geographic, depict our country mechanically, as if it were a make-believe place. The Essential Geography depicts America as the real and beautiful place that it is. So suspend disbelief, and use this work as your portal to geographic reality.
