Map maker brings artist’s eye to his craft: The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.: "“Cartography is a craft and, in many ways, Dave Imus is the ultimate craftsman,” says Tom Patterson, former president of the North American Cartographic Information Society. “I regard him as one of the better cartographers in the U.S. and abroad.”

Imus’ original Oregon map, which has sold 45,000 copies, won “best of show” in an American Congress on Surveying & Mapping contest. The revised version was nearly two years in the making."
