Here’s a draft copy of a map I did this/last week as a favor. Hopefully it will turn into a bigger project. I absolutely love making historic maps, and this one was no different. I get really obsessed with learning the facts of the story I am trying to tell with the map. Interestingly enough, this area is about a 30 minute drive from my house, and I had only heard of Nat Turner from a few streets named after him. The story itself is pivotal to American history leading up to the Civil War. I think this draft turned out awesome!
Created entirely in ArcMap 10.1!

Did a post GIS Day event at Sophie’s school today. Brought in a 30x60 map of Newport News with some light outlines, then everyone on class got to add to the map. Pretty decent for 3rd graders!
So, i initially had the idea for this when i first purchased the Illinois album way back in 2005. It’s not everyday geography and music collide. The Illinois album is probably one of my top 5 favorite albums ever. Oh, how i wish the 50 states project was a real thing. After pouring over countless websites, lyrics, pictures, i think i’ve incorporated nearly every geographic component off of the two albums. There were many different drafts of directions i could have gone with this map, but i eventually decided on this finished product. It’s available over at my imagekind gallery for purchase. Major Props and Thanks to Sufjan Stevens and Asthmatic Kitty Records.
Overall, this map took about 3 months of spare time on night and weekends. I used ArcMap 10.1 from start to finish.
my “Geography of Illinoise” map has gotten over a hundred notes!
Get ready for the 2nd fuckyeahGIS contest, in celebration of National Geography Awareness week, and World GIS Day!! What are your plans for GIS Day? Submit your pictures or maps this week and a winner will be chosen at random for a sweet GIS themed prize. (you may also reblog this post for a chance to win). I’m not sure there has ever been a tumblr GIS day event, so let’s make it the first. Be sure to look out for events in your area to participate in.
(Also Above) Some images from my latest GIS side project - The Geography of Illinoise

Oh Sandy. I though I would make a cool ArcGIS Online Map for some friends to catch up on all the latest in our area. Little did I know how entertaining it could be.
Enjoy and Stay Safe East Coasters!

Definitely Worth Checking Out. The negative side to creating an interactive social media map :(
Sneak Peek! Some late late night cartography on my next side project. Should be ready for release next week. About 6 years since I first had the idea, so, better late than never.
Some choice pics from the Thank you cards I got from Sophie’s class.
Even More Birthday Swag! (Taken with Instagram)
