‪I was recently asked why some maps are #Retrofuture, and some #Petrofuture.

I understand the confusion...

The Retrofuture maps are based on any antique map: conspiracyofcartographers.com/

The #Petrofuture are always based on vintage maps from gas station or auto-oriented companies: conspiracyofcartographers.com/

I wanted to make the distinction between what is directly aimed at petro corps and everything else...even though ultimately it's all aimed at petro corps

Plus, the Petrofuture pun delights me

Another #Coachella Valley map from the Retrofuture series…
The town of Coachella is to the northwest, this is the 1:250000 USGS quad of the Salton Sea, 1950, with 66m sea level rise. Also, check out Joshua Tree National Monument in the upper left.
