ODT Maps

• SKU: ODT_CON_US_CA_PC
• One of the most unusual maps of the USA we've ever seen. A south-on-top map, it features meticulously hand-drawn rivers and mountain ranges. The divisions between states are represented by dotted lines, so one sees the physical relief features first and foremost. This is a view of North America as if one were seeing it from an orbiting space station somewhere over Canada. Looking at this map, the viewer immediately gets a sense of what is lost when the art of map-making is taken over by computer driven GIS programs. All of the Russell Lenz maps are all hand-lettered, and shown in 3-D relief. All of the mountain ranges are hand-drawn in perspective. One may wonder why don't we see more of these kinds of maps, although they do arise from time-to-time in map-making history.
