"Penelope's Travels"

This hand-drawn map by Amy Lippus, titled “Penelope’s Travels,” placed first in the Paper Cartography category at the CGS conference in April 2013. The map was an assignment from an Introductory Cartography course at Chico State University, which required students to hand draw a map of a fictional island, using only a journal description of the island landscape. The assignment required geographic expertise, attention to detail, and a steady hand. The process was intended to develop appreciation for traditional analog cartography. This is Amy’s second year in a row placing at the CGS Conference.
