Narrative map

Create a static map that illustrates a narrative as a route through space over a period of time with the following constraints:

  1. All base map reference features should be from Natural Earth or Open Street Map.

  2. The narrative(s) should be drawn from your personal experience or from an interview that you do with someone (family member, friend, etc) or from a book or article that you have read.

Document design with a map taxonomy sheet and a 500 - 750 word explanation of design choices.
