Description
Following the Great Panic, the US government retreated to the more easily defensible territory out west of the Rockies, close behind them was a gargantuan amount of refugees fleeing the rapidly growing Zed hordes in the Eastern USA. However, not everyone went with them; a considerable number of people stayed behind, whether purely by choice or under direct orders from the government to protect and maintain important infrastructure for the future Reclamation. The Continental Airlift was initiated in order to provide supplies and personnel to these isolated communities over the following years. The above map was distributed throughout the Western safe zone in order to provide greater information about the efforts of the US to stem the Zed threat. Although it is not as comprehensive as the real flight charts used by aviators during the Airlift, it nevertheless provides an idea of the breadth of the operation.

This is a project I have been working on and off for the past couple months and has largely served as a way for me to familiarize myself with QGIS, which, despite being a bit obtuse, significantly streamlines the process of making this type of map. A World War Z map has been something I have been wanting to do for awhile. It's a book that has influenced a lot of my interests in one way or another, and, although, it is deeply flawed, I still find it an engaging and interesting read.
