Slate Magazine has an article about a handmade map of the US that won a major (for maps anyway) award:
It sounds really cool!
check it out.
If by “handmade” you mean that a computer didn’t automagically decide where to place anything, you’re right. If you mean truly handmade, you’re wrong, since it was still made on a computer.
It is still a cool map, though!
Oooohhhh, nice map. I like maps. 
When the Canadian version comes out, I’ll buy it. (Yes, I know there is no Canadian version. But one can hope.)
