I am map maker, currently living in Fargo, ND.

If you want to support my mapping work on OSM, or if you would like custom mapping or PDF map books to be created for you, please support me on Patreon or follow me on Twitter for updates about my mapping.

I split my mapping work between mapping my own area, tiger fixup, mapping for HOT, and mapping things of environmental interest (oil wells, industrial agriculture, landuse, etc).

I also make custom hiking/wilderness topographic maps of nature reserves, hiking trails, etc.

I also do a few imports on my dedicated import account AndrewBuck_Imports.
