July Maptime - Hand Drawn Maps

For our July Maptime, Carolyn Fish (@cartofish) led a session on hand-drawn maps. She showed us some examples of different types of beautiful hand drawn maps old and new, and then we all drew our own maps. At the end we all shared our maps and stories with the group. There were some maps of important places to people, of daily commutes, of fictional places, and many other things. There were many amazing maps!

Here are Carolyn’s slides:

Below are some of the maps people drew. Keep ‘em coming!

This one was left behind last night. That "road to the freeway," potholes and all. Can someone remember who drew it? pic.twitter.com/2YEW1rsKHG
