Each map begins with elevation data and is drawn by a pen plotter in our Vermont studio. The result merges mechanical precision with the organic texture and imperfections of real ink on paper.
Mount Sneffels rises to 14,158 feet in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, the highest peak in the Sneffels Range and one of the most visually striking fourteeners in the state. Named after the Icelandic volcano in Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth, it is the eroded remnant of a Tertiary-era volcanic caldera, its summit a jagged spire of dark volcanic rock that stands sharply above the surrounding ridges.
This map captures the rugged terrain of the Sneffels massif. The contour lines tighten dramatically near the summit, where the peak narrows to a rocky point above steep couloirs and cirque walls. Yankee Boy Basin opens to the south as a broad amphitheater, its gentler contours contrasting with the cliff bands and talus fields above. The ridgelines radiate outward in sharp, angular patterns: a topographic signature of erosion cutting into ancient volcanic rock.
