Essential Geography of the United States of America, Edition 2, Version 4.4

Your Guide to United States Geography

Like illustrated guide books are to subjects like birds and wildflowers, my work is to the overlooked subject of elemental geography.

My cartographic style illustrates the main geographic features of The United States, bringing you a greater sense of our country's arrangement and beauty.

Though a primary means to appreciate our planet and its people, geography remains on the margins of human collective consciousness. 

This work offers a solution by introducing an art-centered form of cartography that disambiguates basic geography. It does this by making all elements of land, water and humanity, including nomenclature, immediately distinguishable and therefore simultaneously observable. This allows the viewer to see geographic patterns, relationships and beauty hidden by the visual discord of traditional wall maps.

Lots of Essential Geography details can be seen on State Portrait pages.
