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!! 🇺🇸🗺️
