Mission Possible: A neighborhood atlas

Mission Possible Atlas

The Cartography and GIS Education (CAGE) Lab in the Department of Geography, in collaboration with Mission Loc@l, have published Mission Possible: A Neighborhood Atlas. Both a print and online publication, Mission Possible is a project in which, "Students examined and mapped phenomena of the Mission in an effort to look at the neighborhood from different viewpoints and to offer users useful information. The maps in this atlas are products of students? work and imagination."

From the Mission Possible announcement: "Mission Possible employs a cartographic style that is a hybrid of traditional cartography, poster art, infographic, and map as narrative. The map is conceived as a narrative of place, using data visualization techniques, cartographic symbology, and graphic art and design concepts to tell different stories."

Mission Possible: A Neighborhood Atlas is avaible at local shops in San Francisco's Mission District, online, and in the library.
