Another Atlantic Cities article (see previous post for maps of pop music) covers 2012's Year in Maps. Some of these I've seen and/or blogged about. Here are some good ones that I missed:

Church vs Beer - another classic map from Floating Sheep, also based on twitter:
Bomb Sight - locating where each bomb fell in London during the blitz:
There's lots of other good ones, including economic segregation in Houston and other cities, rising sea levels in Boston, gun searches in NYC, a better election map than most I've seen and a map showing the Washington DC Metro's busiest stations. Click here for more.
