The first one is from Bloomberg, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-solar-eclipse-path-map-cities" target="_blank">How to Find the Best Cities to Watch the Eclipse</a>. One of the best things about this page is that it starts with an animated map tracing the path and degree of size of the moon's shadow at various locations during the course of the eclipse's time frame. Here is a still frame from 3:10 PM Eastern time.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQSDD4hKigWTqEIDysYqMyyJ90JwMni6BUTgXbj3F428vI3WHgA6-wH4BWqhXoTN0c1bG-bXFm4U9C5iK3o6XRpeZWUbhWUSM4cvP6tCEQfPjpFqm_Yke0SYqRubdchevn2bkpXGDawOkQiNLF3sKJvR01XuCqOU6Dcx-tCcvuIMXL33lWOR9Ivyy464A/s1590/eclbb1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1220" data-original-width="1590" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQSDD4hKigWTqEIDysYqMyyJ90JwMni6BUTgXbj3F428vI3WHgA6-wH4BWqhXoTN0c1bG-bXFm4U9C5iK3o6XRpeZWUbhWUSM4cvP6tCEQfPjpFqm_Yke0SYqRubdchevn2bkpXGDawOkQiNLF3sKJvR01XuCqOU6Dcx-tCcvuIMXL33lWOR9Ivyy464A/w400-h308/eclbb1.png" width="400" /></a></div>This is followed by a map showing the increases in searches for travel to cities in the path of totality.

I think this was just a coincidence. I only saw their post yesterday and I don't think they saw or were reacting to what I posted.

This landscape, more than 2 kilometers below the ice has remained untouched for over 34 million years though global warming is threatening to expose it. The landscape was home to forests, river valleys and probably animals before being buried under ice. This landscape is less well known than that of Mars according to glaciologist Stewart Jamieson. <p></p><p>Here is another view of the topography under the ice via <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-42152-2/figures/1" target="_blank">Nature</a>.<br /> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhewpMymIVDD5I1BmHIMpzj8_9KpL_-QkKNB8T0EtN73MtFi7TjKzj9J5xHcuagtSERnSRMDnBCI2T3ZmAs0_eVk9sMNssSq8GDpIpcvK6qfVRMbW9j0h_HP1FOW2Oqm4CqYzQ3EgbmP_AI2R7IJUVfMQ5JPc_E6BjfJJNGaahwhyIkZDXvma85IPu1F1E/s1306/ANtTopo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1202" data-original-width="1306" height="369" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhewpMymIVDD5I1BmHIMpzj8_9KpL_-QkKNB8T0EtN73MtFi7TjKzj9J5xHcuagtSERnSRMDnBCI2T3ZmAs0_eVk9sMNssSq8GDpIpcvK6qfVRMbW9j0h_HP1FOW2Oqm4CqYzQ3EgbmP_AI2R7IJUVfMQ5JPc_E6BjfJJNGaahwhyIkZDXvma85IPu1F1E/w400-h369/ANtTopo.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Dughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05787505045121628368noreply@blogger.com0Antarctica-84.5528482 -175.6359889-89.241929569967624 43.739011100000027 -79.863766830032375 -35.010988900000029tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695929798247959127.post-1247680482651909062024-01-03T05:45:00.000-08:002024-01-03T05:49:13.920-08:00The Lost Subways of North America<p>A new book by <a href="https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/author/B/J/au181704140.html" target="_blank">Jake Berman</a>, <a href="https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/L/bo206950010.html" target="_blank">The Lost Subways of North America</a> explores the history of unbuilt and discontinued transit in 23 cities in the United States and Canada.

Berman set up a <a href="https://www.lostsubways.com" target="_blank">website</a> where you can view and purchase these maps.

What's sadly missing from this map is the most important Christmas tree farm (to many people anyway) - the one that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a> grew up on.<br /><p></p><p><br /></p>Dughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05787505045121628368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695929798247959127.post-57977714801422525032023-12-13T06:25:00.000-08:002023-12-13T06:25:38.221-08:00Headwaters<p>When I see a river, I often think about where it comes from and where it goes. I started a mapping project showing this for the Northeastern United States. For the level of detail needed it was necessary to choose a manageable area so I chose where I've lived almost all of my life. Here is the view at full zoom.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwdNJcOjQTX72LyJFg2PVJCLJV0qFW6uBk6rlXPXhGkr8CllDqBFzS4nF6lX5cKYhz8B23D4uxEaEzf-ivF2gIgsUPgqUEVNNaFH-TMvUmKtSFHQ4EkAO6sdpKx3Tz63uNVXA5rYeSKMRp8uzVOi2ruTL12x9GDE2gyIkaUjuu9zK47kQubYflCHCjaBI/s1728/HW1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1414" data-original-width="1728" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwdNJcOjQTX72LyJFg2PVJCLJV0qFW6uBk6rlXPXhGkr8CllDqBFzS4nF6lX5cKYhz8B23D4uxEaEzf-ivF2gIgsUPgqUEVNNaFH-TMvUmKtSFHQ4EkAO6sdpKx3Tz63uNVXA5rYeSKMRp8uzVOi2ruTL12x9GDE2gyIkaUjuu9zK47kQubYflCHCjaBI/w400-h328/HW1.png" width="400" /></a></div>This project was done using <a href="https://felt.com/map/Headwaters-of-Northeast-Rivers-3gLs2dFJRK6l9BoqWeLq7aC?loc=43.676,-69.839,6.57z" target="_blank">Felt</a>, a nice package for collaboration or in this case merely making an interactive map. There is some subjectivity here; what are the most important rivers and where are the headwaters. The second one can be problematic because most rivers have many branches. This is especially true of the Susquehanna, with its north, south and west branches. On this map as you zoom in, the detail increases and the locations shift to indicate the many possible headwater locations.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1ue4VYcdFI0XZQA2mhPmAL2lT5E3vJuu7NoMXeESYB5mi0Gn4VLPPTfBIcJC-pq0RLRGgEFzJnJSaaid7YSDD_eJaxtwDgoKZXIr8V2a8g1IEi5MVPiK0KGQZGiFl9G1FwHJ8N5PPdR0whRaoGbpvmUHPiAFuYwkJtnHiWTye_sgTBG0zMohkjPw6nk/s918/Hw3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="866" data-original-width="918" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1ue4VYcdFI0XZQA2mhPmAL2lT5E3vJuu7NoMXeESYB5mi0Gn4VLPPTfBIcJC-pq0RLRGgEFzJnJSaaid7YSDD_eJaxtwDgoKZXIr8V2a8g1IEi5MVPiK0KGQZGiFl9G1FwHJ8N5PPdR0whRaoGbpvmUHPiAFuYwkJtnHiWTye_sgTBG0zMohkjPw6nk/s320/Hw3.png" width="320" /></a></div>For example, the Susquehanna River (North Branch) is considered to start at the outlet of Otsego Lake in Cooperstown, New York.

China has a large number of cities with populations over 2 (actually 10, keep reading) million. Most of them are unknown to people in the western world. Any one of these cities would be in the top 5 in the United States by city population. The metropolitan area populations might be more comparable but still by that measure most of these cities would be in the top 10. I realized after making this map that my population figures are out of date and there are actually 17 cities with a population over 10 million (via<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_China_by_population" rel="" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / 0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, var(--color-primary)); font-family: inherit; text-decoration: underline;">Wikipedia</a><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / 0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; font-family: inherit;">, 2021 data).

Take the longer route through the hills or stick to the direct path through some remarkably dull, flat scenery (my opinion-some people appreciate flatness). If you get off the interstates those parts of Illinois and Indiana are probably much nicer to look at but highway blandness coupled with unremarkable terrain makes for one sleepy drive. The southern part of Indiana is quite a bit nicer to drive through as are Kentucky and West Virginia.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / 0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / 0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0;">I used<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="https://felt.com/" rel="" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / 0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, var(--color-primary)); text-decoration: underline;">Felt</a><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / 0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and their extract tool to get the state outlines and then break them apart.

areas, usually classified in some way. For example, election maps.
Usually there would be many areas classified into categories so choosing
a state with only three counties and one for each category doesn’t
really make this a true choropleth. </span><p></p><p><strong style="color: #444444;">Day 14 - Europe</strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilLQKp2AZ5d1Xe-HfJbLWumsE3jUWn-_KfWCm_r6e4lcH4KbJNNv2zu4X8Zx_N6jMCJYh24jQvoxFuQwuWylgHE5I96GcG_5go0z4JJCYf5AEP0nx46x7NhDFeLbpSGnyGkHcAaODfLvLBq0Mwo4gs1LlacBArgXZCySoqoD9mZ_pi9tY0osbLYk1gdc8/s1280/Day%2014.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1234" data-original-width="1280" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilLQKp2AZ5d1Xe-HfJbLWumsE3jUWn-_KfWCm_r6e4lcH4KbJNNv2zu4X8Zx_N6jMCJYh24jQvoxFuQwuWylgHE5I96GcG_5go0z4JJCYf5AEP0nx46x7NhDFeLbpSGnyGkHcAaODfLvLBq0Mwo4gs1LlacBArgXZCySoqoD9mZ_pi9tY0osbLYk1gdc8/w400-h386/Day%2014.png" width="400" /></a></strong></div><span style="color: #444444;">This was an experiment in playing with a space theme and showing some

(gas stations) and picking a random location. This could have been a
much better learning opportunity as there are many other ways of working
with this huge data set and I really do need to learn more about it.
However, life intrudes and I didn’t have the time so I chose a quick
subject and location. The logos are from the six most prevalent gas

As an antidote, University of Pennsylvania professor and landscape architect Ian McHarg advocated for a nature based approach to planning. His book <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25379638" target="_blank">Design With Nature</a> influenced many future planners including me in college. He was also an early pioneer in the idea of creating overlays (showing natural features such as soils and aquifers underneath the built environment), one of the foundations of GIS.

There will be a couple more posts today and tomorrow before I return to my normal weekly schedule.</p><p>This one is personal. Several years ago I was working with a Philly-based computer programmer and an artist to create a map of bookstores in Philadelphia. We put together lists, artwork and I made a few mock up maps but we never got much interest from the store owners. Apparently someone else did because the <a href="https://phillybookstoremap.com/homepage/" target="_blank">Philadelphia Bookstore Map</a> is now a reality. A creation of artist <a href="https://henrycraneartwork.weebly.com" target="_blank">Henry Crane</a> (I don't know him) and the booksellers (unlike us he got them to buy into the project), the map succeeds pretty well while incorporating some similar artwork to what we were going for-images of the stores and some local sites.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Okl1QcKJUIEAiXX76JMXICOHLl8D3-kWb1mf9znaWfQN5ynJmGk4Tc5Vchi0imBdPb8UXEPAbf-53rIwD8OhWu54_sE6tZncIYi52zPehsjxnorOgrbBV7docNXST8GKQAbim3rGWwT-pucqfD70A6cwJgEpjW9UQaC63mUtxfCVuCxVa79V5y-SiuQ/s3000/pbm4.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2316" data-original-width="3000" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Okl1QcKJUIEAiXX76JMXICOHLl8D3-kWb1mf9znaWfQN5ynJmGk4Tc5Vchi0imBdPb8UXEPAbf-53rIwD8OhWu54_sE6tZncIYi52zPehsjxnorOgrbBV7docNXST8GKQAbim3rGWwT-pucqfD70A6cwJgEpjW9UQaC63mUtxfCVuCxVa79V5y-SiuQ/w400-h309/pbm4.webp" width="400" /></a></div><p>As a disclaimer, I have not yet seen the paper copy, only what is available on the <a href="https://phillybookstoremap.com/homepage/" target="_blank">web</a> page and on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/phillybookstoremap/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.

I would have muted the background map to make the points stand out more though he could have also done that using bolder point colors. I'm not a big fan of the overly Google-looking teardrop shapes but they work fine here. The colors for different categories of stores could also be more distinct. </p><p>One of the best things about this is that in the online version there is a <a href="https://phillybookstoremap.com/bookstores/" target="_blank">page</a> to access sub-pages for each store by clicking on the bookstore drawings.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge_Fq3nDg5x8yzxtiSXF4rdTgjWp190V53QELnsg2l2wmrL81_-is9edLqEIdjNym0HHMB-n3xOU0OiGZl-iZSwLuVqRiD3lwBGhospbElXluv2acp8UUDWCx0Fre11B0lYGdJ-xWv1W-60bOtvXCJimhM2q4jeE9tSAe7SN_Vf57NrbEWRFb24VPlYeo/s1002/PBM-Bindlestiff-Books.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="795" data-original-width="1002" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge_Fq3nDg5x8yzxtiSXF4rdTgjWp190V53QELnsg2l2wmrL81_-is9edLqEIdjNym0HHMB-n3xOU0OiGZl-iZSwLuVqRiD3lwBGhospbElXluv2acp8UUDWCx0Fre11B0lYGdJ-xWv1W-60bOtvXCJimhM2q4jeE9tSAe7SN_Vf57NrbEWRFb24VPlYeo/w400-h318/PBM-Bindlestiff-Books.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>I chose this image of <a href="https://phillybookstoremap.com/bindlestiff-books/" target="_blank">Bindlestiff Books</a> because that is one of the stores we visited on our journey.

These maps were used to deny mortgages to people in "hazardous" areas, generally immigrant and minority neighborhoods, making home ownership almost impossible to most residents of these areas. The resulting inability to grow wealth and stabilize neighborhoods has effects that have persisted ever since.<p><br /></p>Dughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05787505045121628368noreply@blogger.com0
