This illustrated map blends real-world geography with artistic expression, capturing the flow of the Ohio River, major roadways, and familiar landmarks through a style inspired by classic fantasy and literary sketches. The result is both recognizable and reimagined—turning a familiar place into something storied and enduring.

Created using pencil and ink, this piece reflects Dexter Day’s ability to bring meaning to everyday locations—inviting viewers to see their surroundings with a renewed sense of perspective.
