Each map begins with elevation data and is drawn by a pen plotter in our Vermont studio. The result merges mechanical precision with the organic texture and imperfections of real ink on paper.
The Maroon Bells are twin fourteeners: Maroon Peak at 14,163 feet and North Maroon at 14,019, rising side by side above Maroon Lake in Colorado’s Elk Mountains. Their distinctive pyramidal forms and deep red mudstone faces make them the most photographed mountains in the state, and among the most dangerous to climb. The crumbling sedimentary rock has earned them the nickname “Deadly Bells.”
This map traces the full topographic profile of both peaks and the ridge that connects them. The contour lines reveal the steep couloirs that score each face, the hanging cirques between the summits, and the dramatic U-shaped valley carved by glaciers that now holds Maroon Lake. Two peaks, one connected landscape, rendered in precise detail.
