Christopher Bretz's realistic 'post-apocalypse' maps

Okay, they're not really post-apocalypse, more post-climate change. These are far more realistic and 'grounded' (heh) than the Gordon-Michael Scallion flights of fancy into glorious cranktown. 

According to an Anthropocene Magazine article, he created these when he grew concerned about global warming, and redrew the world map with coastlines 80 meters higher than they are currently. 

The most striking change? Florida is gone. Absolutely, totally... gone. 

Check out the Anthropocene site for more, including the map of Europe.

Future maps of Gordon Michael Scallion

These are a mix of fact and pseudo-science-sorcery, but they're still fun. 

Gordon-Michael Scallion put out two map sets, one in the nineties and a second set in the early aughts. Great background for a post-apocalypse sci-fi adventure like... Magnum Thrax!

Check out more over on the awesome Geographicus site.
