Jeffrey Moskowitz

The Alaska Arts Confluence held the first installation of original maps by local cartographer Jeffrey Moskowitz (Geog) in December. The installation highlights areas of southeast Alaska using up-to-date satellite imagery, topography and bathymetric features. He acquired data for his maps from NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey and NOAA. Jeffrey combined his love for backcountry recreation with his training in cartography to start his own mapmaking and publishing business, Hemlock Lines of Haines, in 2015. His art aims to help humans identify themselves in the surroundings they can’t see in everyday life.
