"The geography absolutely pops ...for a moment I thought it was embossed in 3D. ...I can spot the mountain ranges around here! And that’s what they look like! ...a stunning example of cartographic art, or any art for that matter."
- MLD, Colorado Springs, Colo.
"This is an amazing, thoughtful, and detailed map...” -Edward Tufte

The Essential Geography is a new form of cartography that is rooted in the art of visual communication, rather than in the science of map making.
By combining the principles of cartographic clarity as described by Swiss cartographer, Eduard Imhof, with the aesthetic of a painting, the Essential Geography captures the physical essence and beauty of the United States. Because the overall presentation is clear, and the terrain in the background is reminiscent of the real world, the Essential Geography is simple to understandable and it’s almost as enjoyable to explore as the United States itself.
