Before GPS systems and Google Maps were invented, folded paper maps and guidebooks were always our trusty companions while on the road. While paper maps are becoming increasingly obsolete, there's more to cartography than just bearings and scales. Illustrated maps hone the ability to bring a place to life through vivid drawings, leaving a unique impression filled with the illustrator's own experiences. From iconic landmarks to hidden shortcuts, Mapping It Out takes your eyes on a journey and allows readers to explore the lands through the eyes of illustrators.
