THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Sunday River is recorded at 44.473° N, 70.857° W. Its catalogue reference reaches 954 metres. A modern resort map compresses terrain, exposure and access into a diagram. This exhibition keeps the underlying contour visible so the place does not become only a list of facilities.
