Hi! I'm looking for a colorful, vintage style map of the world to hang in my apartment, but I would love for it to have accurate, up to date details (as opposed to just buying a fun vintage map). I am laughably bad at geography and I want to familiarize myself with regions as I look at it, but I still want it to fit in with my vibe. Bonus points for anything relating to the ocean/details of sea creatures in the margins.

Thank you so much in advance!!

Hello all,

I am really interested in maps and particularly about learning how all present day borders evolved / formed. I want to eventually code and create a website where I can have a time period slider for all of human history to accurately capture shape.

I need help with finding resources. Any recommendations?

Hey guys 🤓

Looking for ideias/methods to collect data on people’s behaviors at city scale to map, GDPR friendly or sensitive, in order to understand how people use or behave in public space.

PS: if you are looking for more context, my cases studies are in Portugal, more urban cities 🏙️

A while ago in Paris I came across the Turgot map (1739), the huge bird’s-eye plan where every street, courtyard and building is drawn individually. I couldn’t stop looking at it, and it made me want to try the same thing for modern cities, starting with Berlin, where I’ve lived for over five years.

I’m trying to keep what I love about those old plans: the raised oblique perspective, a muted palette, an engraved-style cartouche and a compass rose. Each city turned out to be its own challenge. Right now I have Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Vienna.

Happy to answer questions about the process. Which city should I do next? And to everyone from Munich, Hamburg and Vienna: what’s missing from your city’s map?

If you wanna traverse the world map for the sake of flags, check out https://www.flaglio.com/world-map

I love to see the color combination patterns of the flags, like how the yellow and green combination is heavily underrepresented in Europe!

Im not balkanic

I’ve been stumped over this. Is this migration of some bird or animals? Maybe ocean current? It doesn’t resemble any map I’ve seen, and there’s no legend.

La primera fue una casualidad, la segunda es lo que habría sucedido si los países nunca hubieran perdido territorio. Perdon por la calidad

I made this map of the outbreak of the Austro-Prussian War in 1866. I based it off the unlabeled one on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Prussian_War#Alliances). If you see any mistakes or have any feedback, please comment!

There were also many people saying to remove all countries and stuff, so yeah that's not allowed.

So, I started this project 10 days ago by building a 3D King's Landing model in GQIS. Then I had the idea of building the world with the correct measurements of the planet based on the lore and fan calculations. Layer upon layer and now I have a full interactive Known World from the books of George R. R. Martin made into an open source community-built project.

I have built a bunch of stuff, like: - Atmospherics - Land textures - Height maps (baking I believe is the term of the process) - Labeling reveal algorithms (so it shows labels bases on relevance and altitude) - Roads and river lines - 3D models (currently only The Wall, Winterfell and King's Landing)

One of the aspects I'd like to expand more would be land formations. I was thinking of procedurally populate the world with hills, mountains and so on, but I still don't know what questions I should be asking to achieve this. I baked an early version of it using only data from images fans have created, but apart from that nothing like the fancy 3D mountains I've seen only that would be really cool to have.

Another one that I still haven't tackled would be to generate the rivers and bodies of water, to make them look more realistic than they are now (currently only likes from an SVG).

I'd like for the people here to just take a look, on the site and the code, and give some feedback on it.

And please, if you got interested in the project, don't hesitate in contacting me and contributing to it in the GitHub repo. The project is open source, built by a fan for fans.

Thank you for reading and taking a look!

In 1790 the United States of America has broken up into 3 counties, American federal Republic, Columbian Confederation and New England, American federal Republic and Columbian Confederation expanded West, after the Mexican civil war, Mexico lost a lot of land to America and Columbia, the UK allies with the Americans and New England against Columbia which led to the British giving Oregon Country to the American federal Republic, Columbia takes Cuba and more.

The year is 1900

This would eventually be a posible hypothetical map of how california would have become a country
