The Mapmaker of Consequences · Impact Cartographer, Consequence Mapper

A cartographer who mapped disputed territories for a decade. Several of his maps became legal documents in border disputes. One, incorrectly surveyed under pressure, contributed to a conflict. He spent three years writing corrections that no government has acknowledged.

“I made a map once that helped determine the outcome of a conflict. The map was wrong. I corrected it three years later. The correction is in a file somewhere. The conflict isn't.”
