SERVICES

Axis Maps builds custom interactive maps that go beyond cumbersome, traditional GIS or overly simplistic pushpin web maps. We custom-build all of our interactive maps on top of our powerful and flexible technology to match your specific needs.
PORTFOLIO

Axis Maps has built a wide range of map-related projects from traditional print maps to online geovisualization systems, from wall maps to websites. Browse our previous work to see how we've designed solutions for clients of all sizes and contact us to discuss how we can help you.
INDIEMAPPER

Indiemapper is a free online application from Axis Maps. It helps you make static, thematic maps from geographic data by bringing the best of traditional cartographic design to internet map-making.
TYPOGRAPHIC MAPS

Typographic Maps accurately depict the streets and highways, parks, neighborhoods, coastlines, and physical features of the city using nothing but type. Every single piece of type was manually placed, a process that took hundreds of hours to complete for each map.
