Maps which include the Pickering Federal Lands have always shown that area as a big blank spot. Land Over Landings had the idea to show details about those lands – natural heritage features, soil characteristics and the growth of development all around these lands. We partnered with Land Over Landings to commission some maps from As the Crow Flies cARTography.
