Static & Print Map Portfolio

This page serves as an index for the majority of the maps I have produced over the past decade, both as a hobbyist and freelance cartographer.

My best cartographic design work can be found in the first section. This section is a mix of thematic maps, historical reference maps, park maps, and alternate history & fantasy cartography. The second section contains a gallary of thematic and reference maps produced in ArcGIS for commissions, coursework, and personal interest. Finally, the final two sections contain older science fiction & fantasy maps produced in high school and college, preserved for posterity.

Be sure to also check out my series of 80+ historical reference maps, which can be found on the "NextGen WorldA's" page
