I design from scratch, I print, and I publish in Val Marie, Saskatchewan. In an industry full of phone apps and American tech giants, my job is bringing prairie stories home.

Over 1,000 hours of data collection and manual drafting have gone into this large 36" x 66" product. The final result combines space-age precision with timeless craft, and can be found hanging in over 250 Sask. communities.

You asked for it - my first printing sold out in its first year! I've added the public's most-requested feature, fixed a handful of embarrassing mistakes, and created a 10-in-1 Second Edition with all-new insets expounding upon Saskatchewan's population, climate, and landscape.

Check the upper-right corner! I've always loved browsing old school atlases, and this Second Edition exclusive feature is inspired by traditional print. These colourful insets cover a variety of interesting topics that just wouldn't fit into the rest of the map, selected for educational value and curriculum compatibility.

An animated, multi-layered view of all the details in Alex's wall map.

Dozens of data layers show more than any other print map, including every grain elevator, every grid road, every Hutterite colony, every TLE parcel and reserve surrender...

An excerpt of the wall map showing Moose Jaw and the Missouri Coteau.

Saskatchewan's majestic glacial landscapes aren't really all that flat. See their rise and fall illuminated in dramatic 3-D by my own in-house relief-shading algorithm.

An excerpt of the wall map showing Watrous and the Quill Lakes.

It's all about the details, and you'll find plenty in my work. Not commonly seen on other maps: Treaty boundaries, irrigation canals, airfields, the flooded Quill Lakes, community pastures... and even the province's mean centre of population (accurate to 2021).

An excerpt of the wall map showing Uranium City and its surrounding mines.

Don't forget the other half of the province! No existing dataset was good enough to properly illustrate the complex Canadian Shield: every creek on the map is traced by hand. Explore the great North with a comprehensive listing of mines, lodges, and lands.

Saskatchewan retails at $79.99: that's original artwork plus sturdy plastic lamination. Or, save $20 by choosing an old stock unlaminated First Edition, on a fine 100lb gloss. The map will arrive in a cardboard tube - no folds - and is Canadian printed.
