The range

Seven lines. Seven datasets.

Each line answers to one body of measurements. Below: what the line is, where the numbers come from, and exactly how far along it is. One is on sale. The rest say so.

A Year of the Moon

Every day of 2027 as a moon glyph, in twelve month blocks. Full moon names, supermoons and lunar eclipses marked; all instants in UTC.

Phase instants are computed rather than copied: exact times of every new, first-quarter, full and last-quarter moon, per-day illumination evaluated at 12:00 UTC, and a supermoon flag where the Earth-Moon distance at the full-moon instant falls under 360,000 km. Every full-moon and eclipse date was checked against the USNO and NASA tables before the file was allowed to render.

LakeLines print of Torch Lake, Michigan: nested pale blue depth contours on a deep navy ground, with a spec plate giving max depth and coordinates.

LakeLines

A lake drawn as what it actually is underwater - nested depth contours, surveyed, with the maximum depth and the coordinates set in the margin.

Michigan and Minnesota publish real vector contour services, so those lakes are drawn from them directly. Where a state does not - Wisconsin inland lakes and most named national reservoirs - there is no print. Those rows sit in the catalogue as source-discovery entries and stay unlisted rather than being filled in with a plausible-looking shape.

Apex Lines print of Spa-Francorchamps: the circuit outline as a single closed black line with a red inner edge, on bone paper.

077 In production

Apex Lines

A circuit reduced to the one thing that matters: the closed ring of the track, traced from surveyed geometry rather than redrawn by eye.

Each circuit is bound to an exact OpenStreetMap relation ID and a Wikidata QID, recorded in a verification ledger. The renderer consumes only rings the ledger admits and never falls back to cached or fixture geometry. Fifty-seven of sixty circuits pass. Long Beach, Mid-Ohio and Monaco do not - so they are not sold, and the sets that would have contained them stay held.

Cask & Compass print of Scotland's whisky distilleries: 159 numbered points coloured by region over a fine outline map, with a numbered legend beneath.

054 In production

Cask & Compass

Every active distillery in a whisky region, numbered, placed on its real coordinates and listed with its founding year.

Points are placed from Wikidata coordinates where they exist and geocoded only as a fallback, with the per-row source URL kept for every entry. Names are used factually: no logos, no label art, no bottle silhouettes. Where the expected source was missing - Kentucky has no 'List of distilleries' article - the substitute used is recorded rather than quietly swapped in.

Summit Sheet peak-bagging checklist poster for the Colorado 14ers: a ranked list of 58 summits with tick boxes, set on a dark ground.

Summit Sheet

A peak-bagging checklist you tick off, ordered properly - by prominence-ranked elevation, with the full list rather than a rounded-off selection.

The point of a checklist is that it is complete, so the row count is the test. Colorado 14ers: 58. Munros: 282. Wainwrights: 214. Adirondack 46: 46. New Hampshire 48: 48. Twelve lists in total, each validated against its stated count before it is allowed to render - a sheet that quietly drops a summit is a broken product.

Gradient Climb

A famous climb as its own elevation profile - one bar per kilometre, shaded by gradient, with the numbers that make the suffering legible.

Forty climbs are drawn and the source attribution is set on the face of every sheet. The profiles currently come from a reproducible local build rather than a live fetch, so before any of these go on sale each climb's route and elevation must be pulled live and reconciled against its published reference stats. Until that runs, the line is not for sale.

Cleared Direct

An airport stripped to its geometry - runways and taxiways in the layout a pilot actually reads, with nothing decorative added.

The renderer and its colourways are built, but the sample airports are drawn from schematic rows, not from live survey geometry. That is a real difference and it is not one to paper over: nothing here goes on sale until every airport is rebuilt from current FAA NASR data and cached Overpass aeroway geometry, and checked against the published FAA diagram.

How it arrives

Made to order, on 200gsm matte.

01

200gsm matte

Printed to order on 200gsm matte paper - a surface that holds a fine contour line without gloss glare.

02

Made near you

Production is handled by a partner near the delivery address, so an order travels less and arrives faster.

03

Unframed or ready to hang

Take the sheet on its own, or have it arrive framed and ready to go straight on the wall.

Not seeing your lake?

Most lakes, peaks, airports and circuits can be made to order, provided the survey data exists. If it does not, you will be told that rather than sold a guess.
