USA - Ohio Valley 2 (1985) - Mug Design

This design is a 1985 map of the Ohio Valley, drawn to show one of the great river regions of the United States as a single, readable picture.

Visual Elements & Composition

The map is built around the river. Its winding course runs across the layout and organizes everything else, with towns, county boundaries and the land on either side arranged along its banks. Lines and labels carry the design, so the eye moves from place to place the way a traveller would follow the water. Place names and numerals sit in the map's own typography, giving the image the crisp, functional look of a survey sheet rather than a decorative illustration.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Ohio Valley takes its name from the Ohio River, a waterway that carried settlers, goods and industry westward and shaped the towns that grew up along it. A map from 1985 captures that history at a particular moment, when the region's roads, borders and communities were fixed on paper. For anyone with roots along the river, the sheet works as a record of home, showing where a town sits in relation to the water and to its neighbours.

Designed for the Mug

A mug is held in the hands and turned slowly, so a map on its side reveals itself in pieces. Rotate the cup and the river runs across the curve, pulling one region into view and sending another around the back. The handle divides the image, which makes the map feel like something you read in passing, one stretch at a time, while the coffee or tea goes cold beside you. It is a fitting way to keep a piece of the valley close at the start of the day.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
