If you’ve come here after checking out the latest Field Notes limited Quarterly Edition, “Mile Marker”, you might be wondering who I am. I’m Cameron Booth, a graphic designer with a big thing for transit maps based out of Portland, Oregon. As well as this personal site, I also write and curate the popular Transit Maps blog — you should definitely take a look if you like maps!
The “Mile Marker” map is based in part on my own “Highways of the USA” map, which depicts every existing and signed Interstate Highway and U.S. Numbered Highway in the contiguous United States. However, I basically had to redraw the whole thing to simplify it enough to work on the smaller sheet size required for this project. The highway shield icons were also redrawn and the typography brought in line with the Field Notes house style (Futura forever!). The project was a blast to work on, and everything went really smoothly – a true collaborative effort!
Check out some of my other projects here on this site, or head over to my own on-line print store, where I sell a variety of original and digitally restored vintage transit-related maps. However, the “Mile Marker” map is completely exclusive to Field Notes — you can buy a limited edition unfolded press-check print, or a folded map to keep in your glove box for road trips!
