In Praise of Hand Drawn Maps

There's an interesting article on Slate right now, She Does a Better Job that MapQuest, an exploration of hand-drawn maps. As you might have guessed, I'm a fan of hand-drawn, not just for art, but for practicality. Read the article. It's a good exploration of the utility and beauty of hand-drawn maps, then go check out the Web site of The Hand Drawn Map Association. You'll see some of mine on there.
