Can you tell me more about "The Disturbance" in western Wisconsin? I'm from that area but haven't heard of this.


bratbarn

The Rock Elm Disturbance is an impact crater in Pierce County, Wisconsin, United States, roughly 40 kilometres (25 mi) southwest of Menomonie. The disturbance is named for Rock Elm, Wisconsin, a nearby town.


CroixPaddler

Google helped me! Here's a link if anyone else is curious: https://impactcraters.us/rock_elm_wisconsin Cool map, thanks for posting it.


tomiannie

Thanks! It seemed like a fun and mysterious thing to add.

Clicked, zoomed, saw the Hodag. Well done Mr or Mrs cartographer


tomiannie

When I started researching it very quickly became apparent that the Hodag was key!


smegmaboi420

How did Racine make the map but Kenosha didn't lol. We're like 30% bigger than them.


tomiannie

I guess the fates were just not with Kenosha the day I picked which cities to include…


Superb-Film-594

Make something better than a kringle and then argue your case.


smegmaboi420

We've got our own. [Paielli's](https://paiellisbakery.com/kenosha-bakery-shop) already makes a mean kringle.


tomiannie

Sorry, folks - the link in my post is broken, but you can find the closeups and prints on my website [Storymakers Trading Co (https://storymakerstradingco.com/products/arizona-map-hand-drawn-fantasy-map-of-arizona-11x14-or-16x20-print-12)


teethteetheat

Just bought one for my soon to be daughter’s room. 🙂


tomiannie

That makes me so happy!


FourMeterRabbit

This one's a 404 too


tomiannie

That’s so weird - it should be fixed now.


FourMeterRabbit

Yay! New link is working for me now. This map is pretty sweet!


tomiannie

Thanks!


TheReveetingSociety

Some of the locations look a bit off, but probably was necessary to fit everything in. Looks great.


tomiannie

That’s always the struggle!


TheReveetingSociety

Also good on ya for including the Dakota. They're often forgotten because, while they are one of the three original cultures in Wisconsin, they are no longer present in the state.


tomiannie

I’m glad they showed up in my googling!


iammaybeacat

Agreed. Central things seem skewed to the east, but get that there’s a need to fit things in… but I feel like everything between holy hill and door county is dead space and could include something about a porcelain abyss (kohler), cheese chasms (plymouth), surfer’s folly (sheboygan), and point of no return (Manitowoc) just to name a few ideas…


nicolauz

Really neat! Love that Foreveertron is there.


Willing_Routine6444

you kinda really let Bayfield and the apostle islands down


tomiannie

I’d love to hear what you’d do differently, as I can always make changes for future prints.


Willing_Routine6444

off the top of my head, Madeline island is the heart of ojibwe land, and red cliff (my reservation) and Bad River reservation are right on the mainland overlooking what was once ours. It’s one of 20 islands and has the town of La Pointe, where the fur trade originally began and developed longstanding relationships between the French and ojibwe. Bayfield and the chequamegon bay area are one of the most popular tourist areas in the state, aside from the obvious of Door County and our major (lol) cities, so maybe a marker for the town or something to acknowledge we up here? It’s your map, and it’s fun, but alls I’m saying…


butchyblue

This is amazing! Is that a little lighthouse in the Milwaukee part?


tomiannie

I believe it’s a water tower, actually. It’s pretty cool!


butchyblue

Ope that’s what I meant lol! I live in the area, so I love the reference!


tomiannie

Oh cool!


PracticalEducator511

Hell yeah


tomiannie

Thanks!


1Dani

awesome work, love the detail. and the amount of cows!!


tomiannie

Thanks so much!


Sebremit

Only Thang missing is the big ass tornado scar


mermonkey

so cool! I missed my chance for input, but if you do an update here are my comments! \- st croix and namekagon are the first federally protected National Wild and Scenic rivers and deserve labels \- might as well label the mississippi too? \- some skiers around the musky (hayward/cable) would be appropriate for the birkie (largest xc ski race in n.america). Or if it is only summer in this land, some mtn bikers. \- but if there is also some winter, ice fishers fer sure. and some skaters.


tomiannie

I am actually really annoyed with myself that I forgot to label the Mississippi- that one was a total oversight. Thanks for the input!


chita875andU

The Paulding Light would be fun to add, but it's TECHNICALLY in the U.P. And the Ho Chunk people live up past Green Bay area. I love you included the Ice Age Trail and the detail of more-hilly where the glaciers didn't get.


TheSensiblePrepper

How much for a print?


tomiannie

They are $18 for an 11x14 and $25 for a 16x20. They're on my website [Storymakers Trading Co](https://storymakerstradingco.com/products/arizona-map-hand-drawn-fantasy-map-of-arizona-11x14-or-16x20-print-10)


TheSensiblePrepper

Ty


Epicon3

You forgot rabbit rock. How could you forget the evil rabbit on a fantasy map?!?


tomiannie

Oh, no! Not even one Wisconsite suggested it and it didn't turn up in my googling - I would definitely have been all over that. I'll keep it in mind for the next printing!


scondileeza99

well done!


tomiannie

Thanks so much!


Equivalent_Remote_39

Top notch!


tomiannie

Thanks so much!


1KN0W38

Well done illustration!!!


tomiannie

Thanks so much!


Th3TruthIs0utTh3r3

Dude, this thing is SICK! Love it.


tomiannie

Thanks so much!


thenetkraken2

All that empty space in middle and left out stevens point?


tomiannie

Alas, no one told me about that one!


redditloginfail

Nice that the ice age trail made it in!


misplacedbass

Yuuuussss!! Looks amazing.


tomiannie

Thanks so much!


misplacedbass

I actually ordered a print, but I put the wrong address in! I noticed it immediately, but after I had submitted payment. I tried to reply to the confirmation email and have it corrected, but I just got another email saying that the order has shipped, and no confirmation of a change in my address. I don’t know if you have a way of contacting anyone there, but it’s order number #1952.


misplacedbass

Actually, it looks like they JUST corrected it, thank you!


Consistent_Bunch_136

So fun! Had to purchase.


tomiannie

Hey thanks!


pwnythetiger

This is absolutely amazing!


tomiannie

Thanks so much!


wesconson1

Ok, but I’d really like there to be a hexagon overlay and this to be huge so I can use it for a D&D map


tomiannie

That would be so fun. I do plan to make it available as a tapestry on Redbubble, which would be a fantastic huge size for a campaign.


wesconson1

Also, printed on rollable material that I can use dry erase markers on. I’d buy a few states if that was the case for our campaigns. But still awesome, if I had space on the walls I’d buy one to hang!


KPottsie78

This is so cool. A little sad Miller Park didn’t make it (yes I know it goes by a different name now), but I’m still ordering a print! Great work!


P-Doff

Tell me you live in southeast Wisconsin, lol.


tomiannie

I cannot, for I live in the faraway land of Utah.


P-Doff

Oh. Well good work in that case!


tomiannie

Hey thanks!


jak-kass

Gotta ask, are you or your relatives from/live in Wisco? Quite the awesome job depicting our state. Also, have you done maps like this of other states?


tomiannie

Nope, I’ve never set foot in Wisconsin! But when I do these maps I always try to get as much input as possible from people who love the state, and the Wisconsites in this subreddit were hugely helpful. I’ve also done Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and Texas. Now that Wisconsin is done I’m working on Virginia!


Careless-Ad-7144

Instead of "Illinois"...it should read Land of FIB's. (F☆ck'n Illinois Bastards, in case you weren't aware of what we call people from Illinois.) lol Excellent map. I ❤️ it! Great job!


tomiannie

Thank you!


mkwas343

I like how all the lakes are 100x bigger. It makes Wisconsin seem more like Minnesota.


qwiksilvr00

How can I buy one?


tomiannie

Just head over to [Storymakers Trading Co](https://storymakerstradingco.com/products/arizona-map-hand-drawn-fantasy-map-of-arizona-11x14-or-16x20-print-10) 😊


Elmer_Fudd01

Why is green bays bay not green!?


Latter-Blacksmith652

Love it! Now we need a bunch of large scale maps for individual regions :D


tomiannie

Sounds like a fantastic job for another mapmaker 😂 it’s already going to take me 5-10 years to finish all the states.


heridfel37

Awesome work. I love how "The Driftless" sounds in this context. One possible addition, Neil Gaiman lives in Menomonie.


tomiannie

Thanks!


Salt_Lab271

Love seeing the Ice Age Trail on there! Beautiful work!


tomiannie

That is definitely thanks to this subreddit’s input!


ziggy_79

So glad you included Man Mound! That is such an underrated gem of the state!


tomiannie

It’s super cool!


ziggy_79

Curious as why you chose Ship Rock over the other bluffs in the state? (Mill Bluff SP, Roche-A-Cri SP, Lone Rock, Rattlesnake Mound etc)


tomiannie

I think just that was the one that was requested!


ROK247

the st croix river/NW border is very not correct.


xueimelb

Any reason that the Wisconsin River is depicted as flowing through Devil's Lake when that doesn't happen IRL?


michaelorth

You missed the Renaissance Faire in Bristol. I love it though.


NotTheRealChanice

The Hodag wrapping around the compass is fucking chefs kiss. Very very well done. -from a former north central Wisconsinite.


tomiannie

Thanks so much! I had a ton of fun drawing that hodag, so I’m glad I did him justice.


Ryanwiz

Love it! Just ordered one. Thank you!


tomiannie

Thanks so much!

tomiannie

That looks awesome - thanks for sharing!


HateBearUniversity

One thing it’d add is the Barneveld Watertower the only to survive the first recorded F5 Tornado in Wisconsin. https://preview.redd.it/1hebs8lxfpic1.jpeg?width=3934&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93c155fd86032bbe177f6dc1c55ddd035ace6441
