US Congressional districts overlay in Managing News
We hosted a mapping and data event for the Great American Hackathon, organized by Sunlight Labs, where we designed and generated a map set showing the current congressional districts of the United States. And we publicly released it as a new tileset on MapBox.com.
The tileset is a transparent overlay designed to be used with a base layer, such as the World-Light map that ships with Managing News. It allows people to overlay any sets of data, whether you want to see what districts are struggling with lots of flu cases like in the screenshot or just map general news or socio-economic data. This is an image of what the tiles look like on Managing News.
