Reply to comment by Balzac_Onyerchin in Relief Map of the Columbia River Basin [OC] by mushroomgnome

This is the exact emotion I want to convey with my maps and why I like to do watersheds! We're all part of some amazing inter-connecting system that most people never even realize. Thank you!

I should also add that I've been a big geology nut my whole life - this area in particular. My Dad was a well driller in the lower Columbia region and I was always going along gathering my own "core samples," ...etc. Kid scientist shit, but I never outgrew it.

But the map really does make it all pop out; state lines are and political maps are so much less interesting.

I have this desire to touch it -- perhaps printed on a 20" x 20" aluminum sheet? Yeah probably.
