A memory of home, mapped

Not simply a map of where you live. A memory of the best days of your life.

KNOWOL created this portrait of Chester as it looks today, using the visual grace of an old New England atlas. Modern streets, individual houses, shaded terrain, water, parks, and familiar local places are drawn together in one detailed view of home. Follow the roads, count the houses, and find your exact home on the map. Once you realize it's accurately placed, the map stops being a decoration and becomes a memory of a place in time.
