February 14, 2025
After a long wait, we’re excited to share the story behind our latest map on demand! This time, the request was for a detailed map of Omaha, Nebraska. To create this custom map, we combined four USGS map sheets, carefully redrawing the frame, standardizing colors, and adjusting labels to ensure a seamless and cohesive final piece. Further enhancing the map, we utilized Lidar technology for precise satellite surveys, capturing the city’s topography with remarkable clarity. After meticulous color correction and label balancing, the result is a visually stunning and highly detailed map of Omaha.
