Map Design and Custom Graphics

Maps and
custom graphics
When working with design professionals it is more important than ever to
get the highest level of capability and experience at the best possible cost.
Since 1982, our Hudson Valley studio has offered our clients low operating
overhead, proximity to New England and New York City, ready access to
support services and, of course, excellent pricing.
Creative. Experienced. Practical!
More projects than you might think require maps, associated graphics, and
custom typography. Toelke Associates creates maps for books and publications
that we produce as an integral part of the process, as well as maps for books
published by others. We have adapted materials provided by cartographers
and geologists, and are comfortable accessing content from a variety
of sources to create custom maps. We have also created display
materials and signage for our clients.
Please review the selected projects on the following pages. Our work on
these featured projects generally includes project consultation, concept
development, map artwork and associated graphics, and vendor liaison.

The Hudson Valley in the Ice Age
that land of all sources of heat. The Gulf Stream had generated abundant snowfall in the northern latitudes. The Earth’s albedo was rising. All
these trends seem to have been dragging the Earth into a colder time,
and that might seem enough to account for the onset of the Ice Age. But
it wasn’t.
Our story has, so far, followed the Earth through tens of millions of
years to a point when it was just cold enough so that glaciation might
be expected. But we need something else; our theory is not yet complete. Ice ages occur in roughly 100,000-year cycles, and Wilson cycles
are much too long to possibly cause anything like this. We still have to

Diamond Point is actually part of Lake George, though by most it is considered a separate community, complete with its own zip code and post office.
Diamond Point is often favored among vacationing boaters. Its location on
the west side of the lake, roughly midway between Lake George Village and
Bolton Landing, allows easy access to the attractions of both, while providing
a more quiet setting with spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains. This area is also home to several of the historic mansions that are part of
Millionaires Row along the west shore of the lake.

Diagrams show boats with regulation lights (red: port or left; green:
starboard or right on bow; white: aft or stern).
This is a situation in which two power-driven vessels are crossing and risk of
collision exists. In this situation, the vessel that has the other on its starboard
side is the give-way vessel. The give-way vessel should sound one blast on its
horn, turn to starboard, and leave the stand-on vessel on its port side. The
stand-on vessel should respond with one short blast and maintain course and

The Arboretum is tucked in a valley formed by the Blackhead and Jewett ranges of the northern Catskill Mountains within an easy hike to an overlook where the Hudson River School painters defined America’s sense of the vanishing wilderness. It is a living museum of native and exotic trees and
shrubs founded by the Ahrens family in 1977 to display the range of hardy flora that can successfully adapt to the rigorous climate at 2,400 feet elevation. The Arboretum’s mission encompasses three goals: to engage in the applied science of horticulture; to promote stewardship of the environment;
and to offer a diversity of programs for the education and enjoyment of the public.
The Arboretum’s collections contain over 1,500 accessioned and mapped trees and shrubs on display, as well as pest resistant perennial borders
planted outside the deer fencing that surrounds the main collection areas.
