I've done a bad job keeping in touch with my longtime colleagues at Axis Maps since leaving a few years ago, but it's nice to see that they've found some time to update the website with the good work they've been up to! www.axismaps.com/projects

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
Map Projections for babies book example page. One page shows a circle projection, the other shows a triangle projection
Here's an example page. A couple are more wordy, but this is the basic level
Looks available to me? I got it at a used book store this summer so 🤷. Seems like Dan has the PDF available on the website though

Plotting distributions. 16 different ways to visualize one data set.
The list is by no means exhaustive, HOPs, horizon charts and I'm sure other charts can be and have been used to show distributions. But attached is a handy one pager to summarize all the methods discussed here
YOOOO my talk at @nacis.bsky.social has been accepted and it looks like I'll be making 2025 a Triple Conference Year.
Folks are so curious about The Map Center and I honestly love telling the story over and over and over again. See you in Louisville!

The fun part is, the geography of the city is such that the national park is the only place with any elevation, so it's a one to one mapping of contours and park and nothing else
Thanks for the flag. Reposted

Karen Wynn Fonstad, was a Wisconsin cartographer who created dozens of maps that went into "The Atlas of Middle-earth," the official geographic guide to the worlds of author J.R.R. Tolkien: "The Hobbit" and The Lord of the Rings."
A new quest: to digitize her original maps, and find an archive.

Image of the Black Mountains in North Carolina, cast in a gradient reminiscent of sunset hues: orange at the top to dark purple at the bottom. Summits are labeled with their names and elevations.
Image of Half Dome and its surroundings in Yosemite National Park, cast in a gradient of yellowish blue. Summits are labeled with their names and elevations.
Image of the Front Range in Rocky Mountain National Park, cast in a gradient of yellow to red. Summits are labeled with their names and elevations.
A favorite recent project: Peakscapes. I love the layered looks you get in the #mountains, and I always want to be able to name everything in view. These designs provide a cleaner, more idealized view of the landscape than a photo can.
Are they #maps? Or geographic art? I'm not sure.
