The Kroll Santa Route Map
by Maria Brown With inspiration
drawn from the NORAD web site (the "official" U.S. Government site that tracks Santa's every move on Christmas Eve),
this amazing piece of custom cartography captures the lighthearted spirit of Santa Claus traditions around the world.
This map graphic, originally designed to raise funds for various non-profits in the Seattle area, is a great example of beautiful
cartographic design. This map is available for purchase at Metsker Maps of Seattle, Kroll Map Company, and Kroll-Antique-Maps.com.
