of art and science."
Polaris Cartography offers custom Cartographic Design and Production services to meet the needs of individuals and businesses involved in Recreation and Tourism, Real Estate, Land Conservation, Environmental Research, and Publishing.
Polaris is also a small self-publisher of maps that reveal places.
Polaris maps are made by hand using digital tools. Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the internet, computer graphics and desktop publishing tools make custom cartography practical for a small shop and affordable for clients; but a human hand, eye, and mind are needed to make maps for humans to understand and appreciate.
Established in 1996, Polaris makes fine maps affordable.
