Re: [okgis] Greatest Paper Map of the United States?

["J. E. McLane" <jemclane AT gmail.com>]

Amy,

 

I haven't seen this map in person, but I've heard nothing but rave reviews about it.  Here's an article that compares it to a map from National Geographic:

 

http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2012/01/the_best_american_wall_map_david_imus_the_essential_geography_of_the_united_states_of_america_.html

From what I can see, it looks like it does do a better job of showing both terrain and urbanization, and the amount of time that this one person put in to its design is impressive.

Todd,

 

Have you examined it, and is it indeed “the greatest paper map of the United States”? Is it worth $12.95?
