"One of the things I love the most about maps is it lets me be an artist, scientist, and athlete," says Hagen-Dillon. "I like the challenge of fitting that all together."
Founded in 2010, Cairn Cartographics has created beautiful and accurate maps of some of Montana's greatest hiking spots, including Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex. Combining her love for cartography and outdoor exploration, Amelia Hagen-Dillon is literally putting Montana on the map.
