  1. sorry, i was unable to comment on your cartographic map post so i’m posting here in hopes that you see it.

    beautiful! what did you use to make this and how long did it take? i’m not familiar with cartography at all, but i have another idea that may lend itself well to understanding your process.

    i would like to make mico-topographic maps of some of the rooftops here in nyc.

    thanks,

    kacey

  2. Hi Kacey,

    Thanks for the email and kind words! I created the maps using different methods and will gladly give you more info if you tell me what specific map(s) were you referring to?
    You’re micro-topographic map idea sounds great!
