Unfinished projects (4 of 4). Playing around with different ways to simplify complex datasets. Sorta was getting to a point where I liked it, but ended up abandoning this project. Still thought I'd share #WIP #USAmap

Unfinished Projects (3 of 4). How does one best depict the topography of a #river ❔ Here's one of my attempts playing around with a river relative elevation model color scheme. #WIP

Unfinished projects (2 of 4). Working on a few maps of one of my favourite areas for Wikipedia. Hoping to wrap this one up soon ⏰. #Wisconsin #WIP

I have been #mapping (just haven't posted in a while). So here's a few unfinished projects (1 of 4). The first one is of the Mississippi River. #Mississippi #WIP

I've been playing with different topography color ramps lately. Really digging how this one is looking.

Its new 🗺️ Tuesday this week! This one of the Colorado River Basin.

It's new 🗺️ Monday. This one is of the Columbia River Basin. Naturally the Columbia River was a highway, bringing Salmon into the interior of the North America. Today, numerous dams block the rivers path, and interrupt salmon's migration to their birth-water. #ColumbiaRiver #Map

"Black Friday", is a day associated with consumerism. Instead of it's traditional celebrations, I hope you are all spending today with family or going on a adventure.

Sometimes the raw data is the most beautiful. Especially when you're looking at 🏔️ DEMs. #GIS

Take a minute to meditate under the #fallcolors 🍂

See you in Pittsburgh on Oct.10-14, 2023 for #NACIS2023!

I think I'll title this map Wargames. The map is inspired by my dislike of board game maps. By adding in some cartography I'm designing my own board game map. Still want to tweak some things, but liking how it's looking. What are your thoughts 🤔

Still working on the style. Going for a #xcom futuristic kinda style. Added in some shipping 🚢 data to add detail to the oceans. Thinking this basemap is pretty close so I'm hoping to finish up the last bit over the weekend. #map #GIS
