Gordon-Michael Scallion's Doomsday Maps
Using cartography to push prophecy.
How Gordon-Michael Scallion used cartography and psudo-science to promote his prophetic doomsday visions.
by James Roy •January 17, 2024
Gordon-Michael Scallion issued a series of prophetic maps between 1982 and 2002. The maps are fascinating examples of mapping alternate futures, as well as the use of cartography, actual science, and pseudo-science to promote far-fetched visions and theories. His maps and visions piece together elements including realistic predictions based on climate change, nods to the earlier 'prophet' Edgar Cayce, Biblical narrative, 15-16th century legends, U.S. and Christian-centric values, misinterpretations of several schools of science, and utter fantasy.
Maps of Scallion's prophetic revelations were published in multiple editions between 1982 and 2002. His corpus includes a world map (1996), several maps of the United States (1892, 1991, 1992, 1993), and at least two different maps of North America (1982, 1992, 1996). He published his first map in 1982, according to his own report, in just 100 examples which he 'put away' af

"A striking example of Gordon-Michael Scallion's 1996 doomsday map of North America. This is Scallion's only map to cover all of North America. Scallion' (1942 -?) Is a ,futurist, spiritualist,,and 'prophet' who predicted a series of cataclysmic astronomical and seismic events would occur between the Issue date of this map, 1996, and 2001. This map offers an exceptionally granular breakdown of Scallion's predictions for the United States and a newly extended timeline to 2012 - somewhat necessary as some of his predicted event were not occurring. The map North Americain full. It presents a topographical map overlayed with contemporaneous political boundaries and Scallion's predictions. These include three major seismic upheavals causing 'fractures' which, over the decade, would inundate most of the American West, including the Rocky Mountains. Other significant changes include the inundation of most of the East Coast and a significant widening of the Mississippi and St. Lawrence river valleys. The Great Lakes merge into a massive inland sea. The Pacific reaches well into Colorado. {We cannot help but recognize a similarity with the speculative 18

""The New Age movements of the 1980's and 90's brought an alternative spirituality for many, bringing with it new beliefs with some old roots, and also some new leaders and shamanic type prophets. These prophets filled the roles that the ancients did before them supplying supernatural insights to what was coming. Gordon Michael Scallion, an electronics consultant from New Hampshire speaks of the onset of intense dreams, then daytime visions which would illustrate to him the coming changes which were coming to the earth due to mankind's technologies and mismanagement of earth. He began to predict many phenomena and felt confirmed in their occurrence. In time he began to publish maps showing the specific catastrophic changes coming, by producing maps. Here are two of his biggest works, his U.S. and World maps showing the new landscape and full of annotations about how things would happen. These are two extremely rare pieces of 20th century cultural cartography." (Curtis Bird, 2021)

When Fortune Magazine published this map in 1940, the possibility of a plastic future seemed more of a fantasy than a reality. While it may be hard for us to imagine a world without plastic, it was not until the Second World War (1939-1945) that the floodgates really opened. During the conflict the United States had to scramble to find substitutes for the strategically important raw materials that they could no longer obtain due to the war.
