Since each mapping project is unique it is not possible here to establish any kind of precise price schedule. As a general guide, however, the maps I have made for various mapping projects range from about $100.00 to $800.00 per map. The least expensive map would be black & white with just basic details like streams, towns, and key landmarks on a plain background. Shaded relief backgrounds take more time and are consequently more expensive. Larger color maps with detailed background image and lots of labels are the most expensive.

 

Historical research often deals with place names that are no longer in use or whose locations are unknown or obscure. Most mapping clients provide me with fairly complete data to use in making their maps. If your project includes places you have been unable to locate I may be able to assist you in the research.

In addition to creating the map, I am equipped to provide certain types of cartographic analysis to help with your historical study. Feel free to contact me if you have questions about how I might be able to help with your particular project.

 

I can advise you about document printing options for display maps. I am also able to handle the reproduction for you at a competitive price.
