Illustrated map of a plane crash site in Michigan

Illustrated map for DBusiness Magazine, a leading business publication covering news, trends, and insights on Detroit's business landscape and economic development.

This map complements an article about two executives from KitelyTech, a boutique software design firm in Detroit, who survived a plane crash in Michigan’s wilderness in 2022. The story recounts how the owner’s plane reached 9,800 feet before the engine failed. As the plane dropped, the executives searched for a landing spot and aimed for what seemed like flat ground—but it was actually a swamp. Luckily, no one was injured in the crash.

The map illustrates the crash site, showing the damaged plane with its ripped propeller, surrounded by swampy and wooded areas to provide context to the story.
