White Sands National Monument
Official US National Park Service Map and Brochure
It took all of two seconds looking at satellite imagery of the area to know this project was perfect for a bird's eye view. Obvious large-scale features, no tree cover, a large valley set against a mountain range—3D was the way to go.
Since the area had very little infrastructure to include, I was able to illustrate the dune formation process on the main map.
