Bracy Estate Map
Client: Regina Bracy
Commissioned as a holiday gift for her husband, this custom property map encompassed a massive, 2,000-acre property in Louisiana. After acquiring parcels for years and developing a rich, family history, Regina wanted to have me make something special for her husband. Using county parcel maps, tons of photos and research into chanterelle mushrooms, combine harvesters and single-malt scotch, I managed to finish this custom gift map in a short amount of time so they could have it by Christmas. It was so amazing to learn about this part of the country that I was unfamiliar with. And I can only imagine what the "Scotch House" must be like in person!
"I commissioned Jen to draw a map of our property as a gift for my husband. My husband was overwhelmed and speechless when he saw the map and said 'best gift ever'. A map created by Jen is distinctive and individualized. Jen does a LOT of research when drawing a map. She infused our map with personal notes/items that she took from talking with me, viewing photos, and reading numerous emails. My family has pored over this map--amazed how Jen was able to envision and capture the essence, fun, and specialness of our place in a map. This is what makes a custom-drawn map from Jen so distinctive. A CUSTOM MAP FROM STEADY HAND MAPS IS A VERY, VERY SPECIAL GIFT INDEED."

Personalized
This map was ALL about the rich, personal history of the Bracy's and their experience with their land.
Non-Urban
This is one of the very few maps I've done of a non-urban landscape, focusing on natural features and unique aspects of the land.
