Las Vegas is way more than the strip. It is a vast desert landscape. Vegas history is SOOOO peculiar, they didn't really develop in the same way as most American cities. The turnover rate is so high that the districting and neighborhooding of the city never really happened. Take this map as a marker of history. These names will change, many will be added, just like the rise and fall of the casinos.

An 8x8 Letterpress Print designed by Archie Archambault of Archies Prints.

ABOUT THE IDEA
So why all the circles? Research indicates that GPS's are hindering our ability to create mental maps of our surroundings. The maps aim to install a "Map from the Mind" for each city, simplifying structures and districts in the simplest terms. Each design is taken as a new challenge, using the knowledge of locals to create a map that is both beautiful and useful.

ABOUT LETTERPRESS PRINTING
Letterpress is a very complicated and expensive printing method. All Letterpress are slammed with 600 pounds of pressure, creating a deep, tactile texture. The ink gets embedded into the thick soft paper so it won't fade within your lifetime.
