history with maps)

In recent
years I've begun to make maps for various projects that deal with
Arizona history and geography. Here are a few of those maps:
 |
I created this map in 2006 for the El Morro National
Monument to use for their centennial celebration. It's a 16x20
full color map of Edward Fitzgerald Beale's 1857 wagon road from
Albuquerque, New Mexico to the Fort Mojave, Arizona. |

Here's the cover and map from a brochure on
the "Historic Trails of Arizona," published in 2005 by
the Arizona State Parks Department's Arizona State Committee on
Trails. I designed the map (with lots of input from other
members of the Historic Trails Subcommittee of
ASCOT). This publication is available free from the
Arizona State Parks Department. You can view the entire brochure online at http://www.pr.state.az.us/partnerships/trails/historictrails.html |

This shows the Spring 2005 issue of Canyon Legacy,
the Journal of the Dan O'Laurie Museum of Moab. This map
was made for an article by Jim Byrkit titled Regarding the
Roads Not Taken: The 1775 and 1776 Letters of Fr. Silvestre
Velez de Escalante and Fr. Francisco Garces. |

Here is the Spring,
2005 issue of Spanish Traces, published by the Old
Spanish Trails Association. This is a color map for a
longer version of Jim Byrkit's article on the Dominguez &
Escalante Trail. |

This is a map of Coronado's trail through Arizona
that I did to illustrate another Jim Byrkit project in 2004. |
