I’ve become a little enamored with maps lately, so it’s no surprise that I fell instantly in love with the prettymaps series created by Aaron Straup Cope. When I first stumbled upon them on 20×200, they appeared as beautiful abstract art pieces, which made me love them even more when I realized they were maps.
