Map Gallery
My rule of thumb of map design follows
- It is a tool just like an ax
- The map should use as much real estate on the page as possible. That mean to the margin and use the space for needed preplan information
- It should be readable while driving down the road in a ladder truck

This map is designed as a street map for a large fire district that covers about 200 square miles. This map is format to 11×17 page size with the map going to the margins as much as possible. The top is reserved for a simple legend, area map inset and caution information that relates to that particular map grid. |

| This map is a display map showing the fire stations in my region. I took publically available hillshading and overlayed jurisdictional boundaries of the different fire districts. This map is meant to be a display piece. |
