publicradiointernational: Missouri has never looked so good … Dave Imus’ map of the United States recently won the “Best of Show” at the annual competition of the Cartography and Geographic Information Society. Slate magazine calls Imus’ cartographic work of art, “The Greatest Paper Map Of The United States You’ll Ever See.” “What I did different than anybody else who ever made a map of the United States was that I brought into focus… the basic geography,” Imus told Here & Now’s Robin Young. “People that read this map or look at it on the wall can understand and appreciate more deeply the character of the United States… the lay of the land.” (Image: A map of Missouri.
