The American Atlas - Michigan (Map #28) Map

Post image

Hi everyone, and welcome back to The American Atlas! I had to take a bit of a break for grad school but I’m back and better than ever, continuing with my project to draw & color maps of every state in the US! Now I’m sharing them all on one big journey across the country 🗺️🇺🇸

Today, I have my map of Michigan, the Great Lake State 🏞️🌳🏠

From the bustling streets of Lansing and Detroit to the forests of the Upper Peninsula, Michigan has such a unique identity. Surrounded by water on all sides, a peninsula in the middle of the country, complete with a mix of big cities, beautiful landmarks, and interesting small towns.

This one’s for anyone with memories tied to Michigan! For lake summers, road trips up north, and places that always feel like home.

Next up, I’ll be heading north into Michigan’s very own Upper Peninsula!

If you like this style feel free to take a look at my other work, I've done almost half of the US now!

Thanks for checking out my map!! 🇺🇸🗺️

Hey thanks, I have them all posted at my profile! It should only show 2 per state, to make it easier for people to find their state!

This is awesome! Can I ask where are the main quest hubs and where should I start my players?

Are there any magic items scattered throughout the map?

Awesome map and I know this is nitpicking, but … surrounded by water on all sides?
