Before William was a world-famous cartoonist, he worked at a paddle shop near the Haw River in the mid-1970s, sketching maps of the rapids for customers. Just a few years later, he turned that talent into a profession. With a style that was heavily influenced by a radical counterculture genre known as Underground Comix, William became the first person to map several famous rivers of the southeastern United States.

Informative and wildly entertaining, this hand-illustrated map by William Nealy is a treasure that every paddler can appreciate.
The Savage River has long been a popular destination for outdoor adventure due to its fast and continuous action—a “whitewater rocket ride.” All of its fantastic features are why legendary cartoonist William Nealy mapped the river with his unique style, blending a twisted sense of humor with instructions for safely navigating the rapids.
Flowing some 30 miles in Maryland, it features the state’s longest Class IV–V rapid, and Nealy’s map is the ultimate collectors’ item, allowing generations of paddlers to follow in William’s footsteps. This classic map has been sought across the United States for years because of its relevance and insider’s perspective. Artistically bizarre and totally irreverent, Savage is now available as part of The William Nealy Collection. The beautiful map doubles as striking, hilarious, conversation-starting art. Color it, frame it, and share it with others.
