We encourage you to participate in making a hand map of Detroit or creating a hand drawn map as part of the #MapDetroit initiative.

Map who you are, map where you’ve been, write a story, paint a picture, map what is invisible to most, map your favorite walking route, and map your memories of Detroit.

Since 2013 we’ve gathered over 300 hand maps shared by Detroiters. In 2018, we were able to curate and present many of the collected hand maps in an exhibit called Intersections: The City Through Cartography with the Detroit Center for Design and Technology.
