Hand drawn map of Illinois, part of my American Atlas project!

Hi everyone, and welcome to a project I call The American Atlas! I've made hand-drawn & colored maps of every state in the US. Now I’m here sharing them all on one big journey across the country 🗺️🇺🇸

Today, I have your very own Illinois, the Prairie State! 🌾☀️🎍

From the skyline of Chicago to the rolling prairies, rich farmland, and winding Mississippi and Illinois Rivers that shape so much of the state, Illinois has such a distinct identity and was very interesting to draw. Cities like Chicago, Springfield, and Rockford stand out, as well as beautiful areas such as the Shawnee Hills in the southern part of the state.

I’d love to come to Illinois myself sometime. Chicago, Springfield, and the Garden Of The Gods all stood out while I was making this map! But let me know in the comments, what’s your favorite place or some can’t-miss destinations in Illinois?

Anyways, thanks for taking a look at my map!! 🇺🇸🗺️

Hand drawn map of Minnesota

Hi everyone, and welcome to a project I call The American Atlas! I've been making hand-drawn & colored maps of every state in the US. Now I’m here sharing them all on one big journey across the country 🗺️🇺🇸

Today, I have your very own Minnesota, the North Star State!

From the rugged shoreline of Lake Superior to the countless lakes, forests, and rolling farmland that make up much of the state, Minnesota has such a distinct identity and was very interesting to draw. Cities like Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Duluth stand out, as well as beautiful areas such as the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and, my personal favorite, the North Shore stretching along Lake Superior.

I’d love to come to Minnesota myself sometime. Duluth, the North Woods region, and the Voyageurs National Park all stood out while I was making this map! Someday I’ll make it up here to see them for myself 👀

Let me know in the comments, what’s your favorite place in Minnesota??

Let me know in the comments, what’s the best thing about living in Minnesota, and what else is a can't-miss when I finally make it up here?

Hand drawn map of Wisconsin

Hi everyone, and welcome to a project I call The American Atlas! I've been making hand-drawn & colored maps of every state in the US. Now I’m here sharing them all on one big journey across the country 🗺️🇺🇸

Today, I have your very own Wisconsin, the Badger State 🦡🧀🚣

From the peaceful shores of Lake Michigan to the rolling hills of the Driftless Area and great pine forests of the North Woods, this state has such a distinct identity and was very interesting to draw. Cities like Milwaukee, Appleton, and Green Bay stand out, as well as beautiful areas such as the tip of the Door Peninsula and, my personal favorite, the Apostle Islands up at the top of the state.

I’d love to come to Wisconsin myself sometime. Madison, Oshkosh and the afor-mentioned Apostle Islands seemed like interesting destinations while I was making this map! Someday I’ll make it up here to see them for myself 👀
