Das Jahr neigt sich zu Ende und es wird Zeit fr einen kleinen Rckblick. Es war ein durchwachsenes Jahr mit einigen tollen Projekten.
Es war ganz schn knifflig nur acht Bilder auszuwhlen.

Mistakes happen. But not often.
We can only think of a few maps with mistakes, done as map makers tried to keep up with the flurry of changes to all those western U.S. territories. It would have been a challenge, especially from the 1830's to the late 1860's. And sometimes, maps from this era can be an amalgam of configurations.
Here, a good map from a French publisher in the late 1860's, but they kind of transposed the territories of Idaho and Montana.

The mechanism (although there is some variety) for the M7.6 Mindanao earthquake in the Philippines now confirms that the event likely occurred on the subduction interface, with a centroid depth of 40 km. These maps show this event in the context of previous seismicity.

Last night DeSantis pulled out an image of what he called a map of human feces found on the streets of SF and I was wondering if this was real or not.
Unfortunately, it was real and is pretty damning.
Of course, no other city (or at least not a red one) would publish such a map and it is an example of The City providing too WAY much info. Info that the right wing MAGA faction can use against it and the liberal Left.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which perennial plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual extreme minimum winter temperature, displayed as 10-degree F zones and 5-degree F half zones. A broadband internet connection is recommended for the interactive GIS-based map above.
To find the Plant Hardiness Zone at your location quickly, enter your zip code in the Quick Zip Code Search box in the map above, or click anywhere on the map to view the corresponding interactive map

You can now buy my South Up, Aotearoa Centred, Equal-Earth Projection Map
I'm delighted to announce that I've actually finished a project!
Over the last few years, . As per the credo of the "Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality", this map uses the Equal Earth projection to ensure proportional land-mass size, the South is at the up, and - of course - the globe has been rotated to 150.
I've had it printed and I think it looks glorious!

Buy
This is a large poster - I recommend buying the 120cm by 60cm version. It needs to be that size in order to make the country names legible. The cost per poster depends on your locale and whatever promotions RedBubble are doing.
These are not limited editions! I will print off as many as people order. Each one comes with a small inscription in the corner saying what the map is, and some other metadata.
As per below, you can in vector or raster format if you'd like to try printing them yourself.
Disclaimer
Maps are contentious. Some countries don't recognise other countries. Some borders are disputed. Some people clamour for reunification, some for secession. Some countries have a name given to them by their colonial oppressors. Some have been renamed by mad tyrants. Some countries have multiple names in different languages. Some are still fighting bloody wars in order to be recognised. Flags also suffer from the same problem.
The good news is that this is not an official map - my choices have no geopolitical consequences. The even better news is that the code behind the map is open source - so you can redraw it to your heart's content.
I have used the , the country names from , and flags from . If you dislike any of those, please direct your complaints to them.
Bugs
There are a few of things which have left me slightly dissatisfied.
By convention, most maps use . However, because this map is flipped, it cause an optical illusion which make mountains look like ravines and vice-versa. As noted:
Viewing images that do not conform to this convention may show a form of convexconcave ambiguity.
If you know how to redrawing or recalculate the shade, please let me know.
Secondly, in their default placement, country names and flags overlap. For example:
I manually adjusted the placement to keep labels and flags roughly in the right place without overlapping. I think I was accurate, but if you spot any mistakes - or know how to automate this - please let me know.
Non-Contiguous countries aren't handled well. For example, Alaska is unlabelled because it physically separated from the rest of the USA. The same is true of overseas territories like the Canary Islands and French Guiana.
The various seas, oceans, and other bodies of water aren't labelled.
I'm sure you will spot a few other errors. Either leave a comment here or .
How
This was a multi-stage process - mostly involving R.
Background
The background image comes from "". It's a TIFF which has been rotated and converted to PNG.
mogrify -rotate 180 Equal-Earth-Physical-Relief-No-Halos-150E.tif convert Equal-Earth-Physical-Relief-No-Halos-150E.tif EE-SU.pngCountry Names
Natural Earth only provides country names in English - but it also provides 2 character ISO codes. So I grabbed the country codes and names from and merged them into the data set using R.
The Code
This produces the country borders and names onto an SVG.
Manual placement
I used to edit the SVG and place all names in roughly the right place.
Conversion
Inkscape was used to open the resultant SVG at 72dpi. I then used Gimp to autocrop, canvas expanded to 16000x9000, and saved as an uncompressed PNG.
The Emoji wouldn't import to either Gimp or Inkscape. So I viewed the file in Firefox and then printed it to a PDF. That PDF was cropped using and then imported to Gimp.
Some print shops require CMYK colour spaces - convert Export.png -colorspace cmyk Print-CMYK.tif

Yeah it is not as nice as the original material copy... and I just realised that I missed out an entire room.
But hey it'll look better than a photo (I guess). Might add the edging and sort out the text etc. Definitely not done but a good place.
