Hal Shelton

Hal Shelton (1916–2004), was a cartographer and an accomplished terrain artist, who started his career with the U.S. Geological Survey. Shelton painted many excellent natural-colour maps for Jeppeson Co, USA. The maps anticipate the detailed realism of satellite images, years before launching the first satellites.
