I’m Making Artistic Interpretations Of The Topography Of Each Us State.

ADVERTISEMENT

Working with QGIS and Illustrator, I am working my way across the US, creating these artistic interpretations of each state’s topography. Each state has it’s own 5 color palette that (I hope) represents each state, and the colors repeat as the elevation moves up. I’m at 33 states and counting! Some states are sliced at 1000 ft contours (Colorado, California, and Idaho), while others are sliced much thinner (25 ft contours for Delaware). Check out your states, and let me know if there are any edits you have!
