After spending several years extensively collecting data on campsites, water sources, and trail routes, and developing my GIS skills and infrastructure, I launched Elevation Changes Cartographic in 2022 to publish the field map of the Timberline National Historic Trail. Since then I have expanded the collection of maps to include more Pacific Northwest forests and mountains as well as National Parks. Creating each map is a time extensive process, building and reviewing datasets and creating backgrounds to blend essential cartographic elements for navigation to create maps that inspire and guide explorers in their love for the forests, mountains, and rivers of our natural spaces.
