National Park Service Lands, Santa Cruz Island, California

This is a prototype of a map layout I have designed for a portion of the Channel Islands National Park in California. The large-scale map portrays the National Park Service lands on Santa Cruz Island in naturalistic, shaded relief with trails, roads, and placenames. The purpose of the map is to help visitors navigate the island while also educating them on the human-induced environmental legacies that can be discerned in the natural- and wildappearing landscape.
