We'd like to highlight some of the individual winners who participated in the Great American Map-Off. Today we'll focus on the first place winner, and winner of the grand prize, Nathaniel Fischer of Boone, North
Carolina. (1/6)

The task was to draw a 14-district North Carolina Congressional map that best preserves communities of interest. Nate's stated goal was to use "many layers of datasets to skillfully craft districts that a native North Carolinian would be excited about." (2/6)
