I have been meaning to compile these maps for a while, so here is a compilation of my maps for the #30DayMapChallenge (years 2021 and 2022).

2021

Day 5 - OpenStreetMap

Electric London

Day 8 - Blue

The Great Lakes (with relative depths)

Day 9 - Monochrome

Kasei Valles, Mars

Day 11 - 3D

Elevation Ridgline Plot of Montserrat, Spain

Made in Blender. It’s 3D, I promise.

Day 17 - Land

Rim to Rim trail of the Grand Canyon (Bright Angel excluded)

Day 19 - Island(s)

Plan oblique view of Haleakala National Park on Maui

Thanks to John Nelson for his tutorial.

Day 21 - Elevation

Another view of Montserrat in Spain

Played around with a more densified joy plot and controlling the emission by z-value.

2022

Day 9 - Space

Tears in the Urban Fabric: Parking Lots in Downtown Grand Rapids

My urban planning professor in college called them tears in the urban fabric, so I’m showing them as voids in the felt style made by John Nelson.

Day 14 - Hexagons

All “Muppet” place names in the continental US (e.g. Kermit, Gonzo, Animal, Janice, Pepe, Ms. Piggy, Rizzo, Scooter, Statler & Waldorf)
