Tom Patterson Maps

• My inspiration for this project was the 1977 Heezen/Tharp/Berann map that portrayed the world ocean floor with unprecedented detail and drama, and helped promote the theory of plate tectonics. This is a modern interpretation of their classic map. It is based on the latest bathymetric data—merged GEBCO and BathDNN25, a deep neural network product derived from SWOT. These hybrid data were then rendered with Eduard and Natural Scene Designer software as plan oblique relief. Like the Heezen/Tharp/Berann map, topographic features appear three-dimensional, complete with cast shadows. The GEBCO Undersea Feature Names Gazetteer was the main source for names. Depths are in meters. Standard Matte Paper (Archival Map Print) Printed on our standard high-quality matte paper, this option offers excellent color accuracy and fine detail with a smooth, non-reflective finish. The matte surface minimizes glare, making it ideal for reading, studying, and framing under glass. FSC-certified and well-suited for both wall display and frequent reference. Best for: Everyday wall maps, educational use, libraries, offices, and framing.
