I found an online resource for topographic maps and downloaded the two maps from 1986 Thesis area. I merged, added geology and two additional watercolors which I had missed before.

Map Art: McKinney Hills Watercolor Map

In anticipation of a map art project at the DMA Center for Creative Connections this coming Thursday, I found my Thesis Research Field Map and scanned it. I then gathered a number of field watercolors I did back in 1985 during my field work. I put these watercolors under a transparent layer of this field map, adding an important tool of the geologist, the Brunton Compass. I will take with me images of this map and the watercolors and see what comes of it this next Thursday.
Edit: I took this map project to the Creative Connections class and afterward ended up making a few minor changes. This is the updated map.
