In this landscape-oriented map, Carla Daly utilizes a clean, digital art style to populate the United States with a diverse cast of cartoon animals. Each creature is positioned within its native region, from the bears of the north to the marine life off the coasts, creating a visual narrative of biodiversity that feels accessible and lighthearted. The use of bold outlines and a soft color palette emphasizes the charm of the natural world, stripping away complex borders in favor of a unified, living environment.

The piece functions as both an educational resource and a whimsical work of illustration. By blending the structured format of a map with the expressive freedom of character design, Daly invites viewers to rediscover the outdoors through a lens of curiosity. The composition balances the density of the wildlife with the open space of the surrounding oceans, ensuring that each animal remains a distinct focal point within the broader continental survey.
