Creative Cartography

So, sometimes one must get creative with what one does with their abilities.

The News-Sickle-Arrow  Editor, Erin Vander Weele, wrote a good article to accompany the front page map.

A work in progress, the Black Earth Creek wasn't yet blue.

 

On May 21st, a full page of map was published

in the Summer Times pullout section

of the Isthmus. Wisconsin's alternative newspaper.

55,000 of them!

Map deciphers road construction in Cross Plains Wisconsin

I've been working on deciphering

the road complexities 

of the US Highway 14 (Main Street) Reconstruction

that began this month.

Not knowing it was happening, 

I wound up getting very lost just trying to get a cup of coffee,

and then got lost again on the way out.

Since I've got this ability to render visual order to chaos,

I thought I'd make a small, easy to understand map for CrossRoads Coffeehouse,

which grew, and grew, and grew some more,

until now it's almost officially printed.

I want it printed by Trout Days!!
