MATANZAS RIVERKEEPER
This map was a volunteer project for Matanzas Riverkeeper—a grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to the health and protection of the Guana, Tolomato, Matanzas estuary and watershed through advocacy, education, and community engagement. The purpose was to have a map of the watershed to display at community tabling events and help engage with residents. The watershed is in…

WAKULLA RECEIPT MAP
This map was designed to be printed on six feet of thermal receipt paper. Why on earth would anyone do that, you ask? After making a ribbon map of the Suwannee River, multiple people (jokingly?) suggested that I look into receipt printers when I explained how I needed to print the Suwannee map out in…

ST KILDA
St Kilda is a small cluster of islands in the North Atlantic, located about 40 miles west of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The human history of these islands dates back at least two millennia, and many ancient structures can still be found there today—including prehistoric stone rings, the walls and foundations of a medieval…

SUWANNEE RIBBON MAP
This 12 foot by 2.5 inch ribbon map shows the Suwannee River and its adjacent conservation lands, from the headwaters at Georgia’s Okefenokee Swamp to the Florida Gulf Coast. The map was made using Adobe Illustrator, and draws inspiration from similar ‘ribbon maps’ of the mid 19th century—the primary example being the Ribbon Map of…

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…

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 one map idea you’ve been putting off over the course of 12 weeks. I decided to work on this novelty…

ST VINCENT ISLAND
I have never actually set foot on St. Vincent Island, but it’s sandwiched between a lot of places I love and close enough to home that whenever I open up a web map I can usually see it sitting there, just on the periphery. The stark ridges crossing the island from end to end are…

APALACHICOLA RIVER TABLE
For this project, I upcycled a tabletop found in a dumpster and added a hand-carved “map” of the Apalachicola River. The design takes the river and arranges it into a spiral, with the headwaters at the table’s center. I then documented the process in a StoryMap called From Trash to Topographic!, which also highlights the…
