accuracy statement? -- “what makes this map unique?”, “how does this compare to other maps?”, scale and precision, something about subjectivity...
Kickstarter for Grassroots Mapping “Oil Maps” exhibition, etc:
- Ask for 20k? 25?
- $300? some level where you get to host the exhibition in a space of your choosing. This must be worth the cost of shipping
