We’re thrilled that you’re interested in our unique maps! At Think About Maps, we combine our passion for geography and art to create something truly special. Each map we craft tells a story—blending the beauty of vintage cartography with modern techniques to offer you a fresh perspective on the world.
Our maps are a fusion of history and innovation. We start with carefully restored old maps, merging them with modern relief data obtained through satellite elevation measurements (the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, or SRTM). The result is a stunning 2D print that displays the terrain in a vintage yet contemporary style, providing a fresh, new outlook on the landscape.
Using specialized software and techniques, we bring the relief of the land to life, making it appear as if the maps have real, tactile depth. While many of Think About Maps maps are based on historical designs, we also create stylized maps that evoke an antique or modern feel. Additionally, we don’t limit ourselves to Earth—our moon, planets, and world maps are also crafted with this same meticulous process.
Creating these maps is a labor of love. It’s a detailed process, but one that results in something truly exceptional. Below, you’ll see a glimpse of how we bring our maps to life.
