This is a work in process, but I am enjoying where it is going. This is a map made with nearly all vector data except for the hillshade transparency mask, which is raster. I created the map in ArcGIS Pro as an AIX file and opened the AIX file in Illustrator with Maps for Adobe. I will be writing an upcoming blog post about the process soon, including the final version of the map. I hope to write some of the Illustrator tips and tricks for this map here.
Happy mapping!
