THINKING: research

Map Stack

It’s a great day for maps – just after seeing the river maps gallery, I came across this Stamen tool. Stamen Design is known for their fantastic and insightful mapping – now they’ve got a tool to let you try your hand at cartography. Pulling data from several different data sets, Stamen’s tools let’s you combine satellite imagery and GIS data to create your own maps – you have control over the graphic styling as well.

 

Here’s the STAMEN MAP STACK page – note that it’s only up from 11am to 5pm PST (or by appointment).

And here’s a GALLERY link.
