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 St. Helens stands at 8,363 feet in the southern Washington Cascades, over 1,300 feet shorter than it was before May 18, 1980. The lateral blast that morning obliterated the north face of the mountain, triggered the largest landslide in recorded history, and left a horseshoe-shaped crater a mile wide. The eruption reduced a symmetrical cone to a broken amphitheater, and the topography still tells that story with extraordinary clarity.
This map captures the mountain’s most distinctive feature: the massive breach in the crater rim that opens to the north. The contour lines form a near-complete circle on the south, east, and west, the remnant of the old cone, then abruptly vanish where the north face once stood. Inside the crater, the new lava dome appears as a tight cluster of concentric rings, a mountain slowly rebuilding itself within the shell of its predecessor.
