Family Homeplaces Map

Mrs. Betty Young, of Yancey County, NC commisioned this map to place in an old family gristmill that she has restored as a family museum and gathering place. The map shows the mountains, ridges and streams where her people have walked for generations.

This map is an example of what I call a "colorimageshade" map. Shading is added to b&w aerial photography to bring out relief. The image is then classified, tinted and merged into the background image for the map. Finally, line work and type is added.
