What John Nelson Maps makes

Topics cartography, gis, mapping, esri, geography

Hi I'm John Nelson! I make maps at Esri, a software company for map nerds. I work in a small woodshed in my back yard, in Michigan. I like to make videos showing how to make maps. My goal is to encourage the exploration of intrinsic motivation: the good stuff that is found somewhere between that which is neither forbidden nor required. Happy Mapping! John
