John Nelson\u2019s One Style to Rule Them All<\/a> is an ArcGIS Pro map style that applies fantasy map design elements to real-world geographic data. It does something similar to his earlier (2018) map style, My Precious<\/a> (described here<\/a>) only differently and with fewer assets (and 1\/60th the download size).
