Definitely a lot harder then it looks. Especially when my wife has Honey Boo Boo on while I'm trying to fold all of it correctly.
Left side was the first try. Sloppy. But got better with the second try.

Blog Map # 4

A college map for Marist College in NY. This is a really nice visual representation of the campus. Particularly I like the look of the map in regards to the scenery. The addition of the river with a boat and the fall foliage are a nice aspect of the map. Also of not the compass rose in the athletic fields is a nice way to make sure it was inserted into the map while keeping the map visually pleasing.
Type map of the East coast. States are large and major cities and towns are in smaller text. Kinda cool.

Interesting Map projections

While pretty boring I think this Pseudocylindrical map is kind of interesting. Its I guess a type of conic projection that will cut off certain areas like that seen above killing off central Asia. I bet they're none to happy about a projection like this.

Even crazier looking...

This one is a Loximuthal projection? Not sure....but it looks like someone sat on the globe and forgot to round it back out...
