This is a hand-drawn and watercolor-painted map of the San Francisco Bay metro area. Accuracy and scale give a clear sense of orientation to the graphic three-dimensional landscape of the region. The map makes for a great souvenir, but can just as easily be used as a travel guide.

The obverse side features a complete map of the region with all major natural and man-made features clearly illustrated and labeled. The reverse side features inset illustrated maps of Downtown San Francisco, San Jose / Silicon Valley, and Downtown Oakland. A standard, non-illustrated BART System Map is also inset on the reverse.

The reverse further includes a city-by-city, neighborhood-by-neighborhood guide to the region, with points of interest in bold text and grid coordinates in parentheses. An alphabetical points of interest index and a list of Frequently Called Numbers by category complete the reverse.

You used to see these maps everywhere! Not so much now...but you can get it here!

This Unique Media Map is entirely hand-drawn and painted in a colorful watercolor technique to create an original and sophisticated landscape graphic. Back in the day, Unique Media originated this novel style of three-dimensional mapping. It is a fresh innovation on the fascinating and centuries old art form of bird's-eye-view pictorial maps. These birds' eye illustrations are really a work of art. Many appreciate the 'cartoon' style illustrated view, as it presents a great perspective!

The artistic illustration style coupled with the special interpretation of scale gives a real feeling for the layout and beauty of urban and natural environments. The geography comes alive and gives you a clear sense of orientation. Adding to this the is the interesting, objective text and handy format and you have a reference that you can use time and time again.

Map measures approximately 27" x 18" when opened. Copyright 2014, ISBN 978-0921338314
