This is a map of a section of the Philadelphia metro area. The extents of the map are shown in the first picture.  The map portrays the urban area in a 3D style so the facades and heights of most buildings are visible.

I spent a long time making this and thoroughly (to my standards) researched the labels and transit info. That being said, if you see any label that is inaccurate or missing please let me know! you can send me a message on here or on instagram @ citiesillustrated. 

Map files will be sent to printer on March 6. This allows 2 days for community feedback and popular change requests will appear on all maps that are ordered. 

Also portrayed are all rail services within the maps scope. 
The Map is available in 2 sizes 

A0 84 X 120 CM - This is the size it was originally produced in.

24&quot; X 36&quot; -  Scaled down by about 35% labels are still visible 

The map is printed on high quality, heavy (200 GSM / 80lb) semi-gloss paper. The paper has a resin texture on it. 

Map is shipped in a paper tube or box and is fully insured for the journey. Any shipping issues just let me know. 

If an order is placed in North America it will be printed in the USA. 
If an order is placed in EU the map will be printed in Germany. 

The map is bright and vibrant, the colors are delicately chosen. However if you need the colors adjusted just let me know and I can accommodate for free some changes. 

Additionally I can accommodate for free, a small personalization that will take me 10 mins to make, for example a label with a home icon over a building. Or a custom label. Feel free to ask. 

If you have any questions feel free to send me a message! Thank You

Very, very close to the top spot, the most accessible LiDAR data I've come across.  Great web interface with dem and dtm at 0.5 and 5m for each grid square, water bodies set to NA 😀.  Narrowly pipped for top spot by...

Uber's H3 is a fantastic approach to geo indexing.It's hard to use coordinates on a sphere and H3 feels like it hits the perfect sets of tradeoffs. You probably saw that our BFCM globe this year was hexagon based, that's because of H3.

Dot grids are a clear, informative, multidimensional and flexible cartographic technique. I love em and want to see a whole lot more use.

One of the most famous early world maps was created by Anaximander (610-546 BC). A fun mixture of detailed mapping of coastlines and guess work. Source:
