Geospatial Art by Nikolas R. Schiller
With the world already charted and mapped, Geospatial Art was created for you to rediscover the world around you all over again. While it’s not exactly postmodern art, these maps deviate from traditional cartography because they will not orient one to the right path, rather they offer many paths & many views of a specific place taken at a specific time in history.

In the summer of 2004 I began experimenting with new methods of projecting geospatial information in a 3-D environment. On a near-daily basis, I created these unique maps out of public domain orthophotography and used my blog, titled “The Daily Render,” as a means to document this cartographic progression. Over the course of the last few years I have reprojected much of urban America; from downtown central business districts to state capitals to highway intersections to national monuments to myself & my home and these maps are cataloged by chronology, projection, and location on this website.

As a map maker, I can also make custom maps, which are priced on projection, size, and labor. Please email me @ cartography at nikolaschiller dot com with your cartographic questions & requests!

Below is a comprehensive listing of my maps by name, location, and projection.
