How do hazard maps, tools for defining and governing risk, inscribe themselves into the physical world they depict as well as the consciousness of the people inhabiting it? Considering maps as castings of the territories they depict, traces of their casting molds can be deduced, which hint at deliberate design decisions and embedded power relations, emphasizing or precluding certain aspects. Directly consulting the mapped terrain may then reveal otherwise uncharted hazards at the intersection of local livelihoods and the global chains of extraction, production and distribution.
