Seeker:

The maps most of us are familiar with feature landmarks that stand out — like mountains, roads, lakes and rivers. But a Ph.D. candidate of geospacial science in Australia thought it would be interesting to focus on what doesn’t stand out, but is cast in shadow.

Bishop-Taylor sells ultra-high resolution versions of these maps for poster and canvas printing on Etsy. He said the sales are helping him fund his effort to earn his Ph.D.

If you know someone who is a map lover (like me!), check out these digital maps on Etsy. I’m especially fond of the ones showing the difference between Roads of the USA vs the Roads of Canada map. Spoiler alert: for a country of our size, we don’t have many roads. Thanks to the_pc_doc for the link.
