For: Southern Nevada Conservancy, California Trail Interpretive Center
Services: Project Management, Editing, Layout, Cartography, Indexing, Marketing

This book was my first publication with Southern Nevada Conservancy. I designed the interior of the book as well as all the reference maps within. We contracted a historical illustrator for the cover design, which blended the current landscape with a depiction of miners in the same location. Challenges with this book included working with (and accepting) cover design typography, indexing, page numbering, and marketing outside of Nevada.

This publication is for sale online as well as at the California Trail Interpretive Center in Elko, NV.
