LIGNUMVITAE KEY
Lignumvitae Key, part of the Florida Keys, sits just north of Lower Matecumbe Key, west of Islamorada. It’s protected as a Florida State Park, surrounded by the waters of the Lignumvitae Key Aquatic Preserve, and can only be accessed by boat. The island holds some of the last undisturbed, tropical hardwood hammock found in the […]

EULER SPIRAL CARD
This piece was created for Daniel Huffman’s map projection trading cards project. The idea is to have a set of trading cards for carto-enthusiasts to collect and exchange at conferences, featuring the wide variety of map projections out there. The maps on the cards showcasing these projections are all designed by volunteer cartographers. For my […]

MAP TURTLES MAPPED!
It’s turtles all the way down! I created this map as part of the #SlowMapChallenge proposed by Daniel Wood — an alternative to the #30DayMapChallenge where instead of making a map a day, you tackle a map idea that you’ve been putting off over the course of 12 weeks. I decided to work on this […]

Then I made a Story Map explaining the process and highlighting all the reasons I think that river is awesome. Click the […]

GRAVE SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK
I remember starting this spooky map in September 2019 and being very pleased over the fact that I had so many weeks to finish it in time for Halloween. I did not finish in time for Halloween. Local histories and lore were a big part of what interested me about this region and got me […]

THE USA OF PBJ
You’re never too old for a delicious peanut butter & jelly sandwich. Using data from the US Dept of Agriculture’s CropScape program, I mapped out growing regions for some of the major ingredients in a PBJ. Originally I only included grape jelly, before realizing the nation is divided on more than just politics. Personally, I […]

SPRING COLORS
Growing up in Florida, I thought it was weird how many “Blue Springs” we had. It felt like an uninspired name for one of the state’s most iconic attractions. Using data from the US Board on Geographic Names, the map above depicts all of the physical, hole-in-the-ground spring locations (293) in the continental US named […]
