Alex McPhee's Province of Alberta
Canada's first-ever independent reference map not drawn by a voyageur.
Reference Map?
The "reference map" is a classic art form relatively uncommon here in North America. Unlike the more common highway map, the reference map is multipurpose - it shows a general overview of everything a person might be interested in.
Field-Tested
I wanted to create an accurate and representative portrait of the province, so I started by personally visiting every county in Alberta. That's why you'll find interesting details that other maps don't show, everywhere from Abee to Zama City.

Internationally Recognized
I got my start as a self-taught cartographer, so McPhee's Alberta began life as a spare-time hobby. But when an early draft won Best in Design (Student) at the North American Cartographic Information Society's 2019 conference, I started to take the project more seriously.
