This hand-painted pictorial map depicts a stretch of the Mekong River that was explored by a team of whitewater kayakers just before this upper stretch of the river was dammed by the Chinese government.

In a style reminiscent of Chinese watercolors on silk, elements of the Mekong landscape, like century-old pines, cliffs and waterfalls (with a kayaker!) are illustrated.

Created using watercolors, ink and computer typography.

For the Explorers Journal,quarterly journal of the Explorers Club in New York.
