As an ongoing fascination with making fake map-looking things in Excel via formatted pivot tables, here's one showing wildfires in the US.

It is unsual to be able to be so precise but at 0800 exactly on 13 November 1967 a new world of yellow lines and Traffic Wardens came into use in the Yorkshire city of Sheffield. This folding map and guide gives very precise details as to the where and when and also describes very thoroughly the use of parking meters. It was issued under the names of the City Engineer and Surveyor and Town Planning Officer, C R Warman, and the Chief Constable of the merged Sheffield & Rotherham Constabulary.
The map shows the city centre during the 1960s reconstructions that were initiated in the post-war period.

The area roughly represented by the table is here shown outlined in black. The main geographic features are the village of Wolfsdorf (mostly off the table), the town of Goldberg and the road net converging on it, and a large wooded hill called the Flensberg, just to the southeast of the town. Lauriston's V Corps is advancing boldly on Goldberg, expecting no resistance since Yorck's 1st Prussian Corps was last observed withdrawing northwards in some haste.
Yorktown, Virginia - a mainly military family town in Hampton Roads, VA where our claim to fame is the last major battle of the Revolutionary War. We bring it 1781 style yo.
In my spare time, apart from poking around falling down old buildings, I also make maps. This is one of my better ones.
This map, on a larger scale, shows the individual streets in Bradford. It was still a small place with fields almost to the centre of town. The population the previous year was 6393. Manningham Lane has been built and the Bradford Canal with its wharves near the Parish Church is now shown

People keep asking me where the Lost City is, so I thought I'd put up a map.
(Or if you prefer - Google Maps)
As far as I'm aware it's still there - I certainly haven't heard anything about it being demolished yet.
This seems like a good point to show something. The software for matching the projector is pretty usable now. So.. it's on to the dreaded manual modelling of the final shape o_O
By Jocudus Hondius the Elder (I think) and showing the circumnavigation of Thomas Cavendish in 1586-88. During which he buckled some serious swash.

It's all a bit different now! Western dock is filled in and flats are built on it, with News International (soon to be gone) where the warehouses were to the north. Tobacco dock is partially filled in, Eastern dock is a park / woodland. Shadwell basin's still there, with houses built around three sides where the warehouses once stood. Regents Canal Dock, now known as Limehouse Basin, is also still there and is used as a marina. Most of the Surrey Docks were filled in, though Greenland Dock survives.
The warehouse number 10, south of Tobacco Dock, is (I think) 21 Wapping Lane and is still there (see my other Docklands photos), but not for long. Ballymore are planning to turn it into a large residential development. The warehouses north of Tobacco Dock were converted into a shopping centre in the 80s, but it never really took off and is almost empty now, bar a single sandwich shop.

The USGS GNIS placename database was used to make this map. Place names that end in "Hollow" are shown with an orange got, while those ending in "Gulch" get a blue dot.
Clearly, "Gulch" is common in the West and rare in the East. "Hollow", on the other hand, is very common in the Appalachians, Ozarks, Texas, and elsewhere in the East, but is also found in a few western regions—notably Utah and north-central Oregon.
Source data, USGS GNIS placename database and ESRI's state boundary data. Software, ESRI ArcGIS.
As opposed to the previous image, this map uses a more brute force method - downloading the geocoordinates of every geotagged image found in Bath. These are then summed into a grid, and a colour contour plot made.
It is a bit unkind to the Flickr servers, but only a bit. Trying to do Bath the same way as the Barcelona map just results in a blob, because there aren't enough 'woeid' neighbourhoods.
Made using Python, MatplotLib, the FlickrAPI, and Openstreemap.

Yesterday it was cold outside so what is better than dreaming on a map.
(Inspired by an old map showing a portion of the cost line in Brazil from Piri Reis, Ottoman empire's admiral around 1500 ).
Ieri era freddo cosa c'è di meglio che sognare davanti a una mappa.
(Ispirato da una mappa di Piri Reis, ammiraglio dell'impero Ottomano, disegnata attorno il 1500 e raffigurante una porzione del Brasile).
This is a map of everywhere I've visited in the Bay Area from 2008 to March 2012. The map is colored by year so you can see how my travels change over the years.
This map was generated from GPS logs gathered by geoloqi.com and run through a custom script that projects the GPS logs onto a 2D image. There is a little bit of logic to smooth out the lines and remove some (but not all) GPS noise.
The top left corner is San Francisco, and the yellow spot in the bottom right is the San Jose airport. The long lines stretching across the image is from airplane flights.
There is approximately one GPS point recorded every 2-6 seconds when I am moving.
Please contact me if you would like to use this image, I would be happy to provide a version without the watermarks.
