I’m temporarily stopping *ALL* online orders for a few days until I can get all the one I received today shipped out. Please be patient as my partner and I work through today’s flood of orders, and thank you VERY VERY much for all of your support today! We simply completely ran out of shipping and most packing supplies and need to restock.

To give you an idea, today alone, I sold the equivalent of 2/3 of what I sold during the ENTIRE MONTH of November, which was already by far my best month ever. Thanks everyone!

Here it is! Five months of work hand-drawing every structure, bridge, path, park, museum, church, synagogue, mosque, Rex center, or school (or damn well near it) in the future Douglass Commonwealth. Every single object on this map was painstakingly and individually drawn by me using no GIS or automation of any kind. Each neighborhood was done individually and then pieces together like a puzzle to form this jumbo map.

SWIPE to see what it looked like in July lol.

Big news! I’ve changed my name from Wild Places Prints to Terroir Cartographic. When I first started out I only did maps of parks and wild places (which I still do some of) but I’ve since expanded well beyond that, so I think it’s time for a name to reflect that change. I’m now Terroir Cartographic. Swipe for more info!

The Big Map ™️🗺📍🧩.

I haven’t been able to update it recently because the file size had gotten absolutely enormous, making it very difficult to work with. Also I had inadvertently distorted some of the neighborhood sizes by accident. So I had to redo the whole thing, then add in all of the neighborhoods I’ve done since my last update, which was a bit ago. The file size is now WAY easier to work with now and the neighborhoods are significantly more accurate compared to each other than they were on the previous version. Hope you like it!

Continuing my recent hydro theme: A new hydrological map of the Anacostia River and all of the various creeks, springs, streams and branches that form its tributary system.

The Anacostia River and Anacostia area of DC both get their name from the indigenous people on whose land DC now sits: the Nacotchtank (variously anglicized before spelling conventions as the Anacostans and Anacostines, among others). The name is thought to come from the word “anaquashtanik,” which means “town of traders.”
