    Map Map for Historical Fiction -- The Donner Party

    I wanted to share a map I created for author Nancy Herman's upcoming rerelease of her YA historical fiction, All We Left Behind: Virginia Reed and the Donner Party. This was my first for a historical book! I'm more used to working with romance, mystery, and fantasy novels.

    It looks great, and it's very clear ad legible. I love the carriage illustration. It's beautifully done.

    Nice and spot on to display the journey and its steps. And I agree with ChickPea about the carriage.

    Indeed is a really cool map, I miss old west maps and wuld appreciate recommendations to places were to find then. For me I liked how the horizontal lines arrange themselves to create a gradual transition to biomes.
