‪I was recently asked why some maps are #Retrofuture, and some #Petrofuture.

I understand the confusion...

The Retrofuture maps are based on any antique map: https://conspiracyofcartographers.com/retrofuture-gallery

The #Petrofuture are always based on vintage maps from gas station or auto-oriented companies: https://conspiracyofcartographers.com/petrofuturegallery

I wanted to make the distinction between what is directly aimed at petro corps and everything else...even though ultimately it's all aimed at petro corps

Plus, the Petrofuture pun delights me
