30 Day Map Challenge
Day 30: Makeover
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Not really a vast improvement over yesterday's - but at least an alternate visualization. Happy to complete the 30 day map challenge for 2025!

Day 27: Boundaries
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Seemed like an appropriate thing to map today.
Also, how many things to critique and/or be curious about with this map? North arrow? Scale bar? Projection? Natural versus political boundaries? Service layer credits!

Day 26: Transport
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
US Cities have challenging public transportation issues. This city gets a lot partially right. Would be great if it leaned into making public transit great for everyone.

Day 25: Hexagons
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Revisiting the first map of the series - just binning trees by hexagons for Cambridge. Was hoping to do something more interesting but busy day, so kind of called this one in. Holiday week may interfere with completing.

Day 24: Places and Names
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Ran out of time. Massachusetts doesn't fit well in a square. Definitely a draft but a fun one, especially with multiple constraints.

Day 22: Natural Earth
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Natural Earth Data is created for world and regional maps at optimal scales. This map uses 110m scale Natural Earth data on an unusual projection - the Spilhaus Ocean Map in Square Projection.

Day 21: Icons
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Not fully satisfied with this one. Playing around with a house icon, transparency, color, and size to tell a specific story. One particular outlier is problematic, and likely a typo. Reasons to explore spatial data.

Day 20: Water
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
A super fast, really, honestly, a lazy map. OTOH - a great demonstration of Water, rather than Earth.

Day 19: Projections
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Another 20 minute draft, but it conveys an important lesson about using local planar projections when working at local scales.

Day 17: New Tool
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
A busy day to explore something brand new. I’ve made maps or helped others make maps with so many different tools over the years.
I’m deeply skeptical of Gen AI. Used the embedded AI in iOS Freeform. Embarrassing US map

Day 16: Cell
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Revisiting a prior map - binning residential parcels into hexagonal cells to illustrate where people would be most likely to live in the Providence. Note: by "most likely" I am not using reproducible spatial analysis... ;-)

Day 15: Fire
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Looked for an interesting fire dataset.
Lots of agricultural land management with fire...
Information about the data here:

One of many datasets your tax dollars pay to maintain.

Day 14: Open Street Map
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Really another 10 minute map.
Busy day & phone & laptop refusing to connect on the train. But, I thought it’s worth highlighting the default cartographic choices of OSM and I picked a place of interest to me.

Day 13: 10 Minute Map
#30daymapchallenge #30daymapchallenge2025
Probably more like 15 minutes if you count exporting to image file for posting. Add another 30 minutes for thinking about the dataset, what to map, and where. Plenty of things to critique and improve on.
