This was my final project for the cartography class I took in undergrad. We had to work with an organization and produce a high quality map for them, after creating a contract and later getting feedback on a draft. I worked with Point Blue Conservation Science, after having been an intern for them the previous summer. It was a treat to map an area I was so familiar with and there was less pressure because I already knew the people I was working with.

It was a challenge to fit so many labels and detail into a small area.

One of their requests was to map and label all of the 400-some nest boxes. For those wondering, boxes missing a number are not errors, they are merely an eccentricity of the project.

My classmates were quite impressed with the legend. The align tool in Illustrator did a lot of work here.

Part of the project was writing up a formal contract (signatures not shown), as practice for future work.
