Portlandness: A Cultural Atlas
Portlandness: A Cultural Atlas | David Banis, Hunter Shobe
11 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
The new cartography is about much more than just land! In 150 infographic maps of Portland, Oregon, two leading geographers explore unexpected topics like city chickens, wild coyote encounters, food-truck trends, and coffee culture. Modern cartography tells the hidden stories of Portland in these fascinating and colorful infographic maps. When mapmaking takes on nontraditional topics like patterns of graffiti, locations of strip clubs, or even which neighborhoods favor which house colors, finding your way around the city takes on a whole new meaning. Each map starts with the gathering of at least one data set about a given topic, then translating that to a visual format that blends traditional cartographic skills with modern graphic design.

I also REALLY wanted to buy this tote bag, but managed to resist the temptation. I love the tarot card style design. I am already carrying too much stuff with me on the plane and didn‘t need to spend $24 on another tote bag.

Layover in Portland, and I couldn‘t resist buying something from the Powell‘s Books kiosk at the airport. Grabbed this cute pencil case which is now conveniently holding all of my pens! I hope to go to the actual @Powells someday when I am in Portland for a real visit...

Natasha.C.Barnes Clockwise from UL:
-Swift Watch every Sept. @ the Chapman chimney

Natasha.C.Barnes Everyone's favorite thing was always the gorge, but now that's an inferno we won't recover from for many many years. 😥 7y

This was great! I probably wouldn't have bought it for myself, but it was an excellent gift, and would make a great gift for any born-and-bred Portlander or a newcomer to the city.

I love this book so much. Here's a map of the world organized according to how well each nation's cuisine is represented by Portland food trucks. A must for anyone who loves PDX or urban planning

PennyPistol Portland is such a great city! I love it more each time I visit. I also love the food trucks and always make a trip to @Powells Books. Last time I bought so many books I had to load up both of my travel companions' bags in order to get my bags on the plane. 😂 8y
AAdamson Yay, Portland, my hometown! I just love that place. 8y
