Roman Roads – Sasha Trubetskoy If you think this would make a cool poster, follow this link and send me a few bucks. I’ll email you a crisp PDF for printing! It’s finally done. Creating this required far more research than I had expected—there is not a single consistent source that was particularly good for this. The lines are a combination of actual, named roads (like the Via Appia or Via Militaris) as well as roads that do not have a known historic name (in which case I creatively invented some names). How long would it actually take to travel this network? However, no sane Roman would use only roads where sea travel is available. Creative liberties taken The biggest creative element was choosing which roads and cities to include, and which to exclude. Obviously to travel from Petra to Gaza you would take a more or less direct road, rather than going to Damascus and “transferring” to the Via Maris. Here’s a list of the roads that have authentic names and paths: Some roads have real names but were modified somewhat:
British Museum uses Google Street View technology to put thousands of objects online and curate Museum of the World The world will be able to tour the British Museum online thanks to a new alliance between curators and Google© British Museum Neil MacGregor, the Director of the British Museum, says a new Street View tour allowing access to the museum’s permanent gallery and more than 4,500 objects represents a modern version of the age of Enlightenment during which the museum was founded in 1753. The Admonitions Scroll dates from the 6th century© British Museum One of the most important Chinese scrolls in the British Museum’s collection – the 6th century Admonitions Scroll, which is usually only visible for a few months each year due to their fragility – has been vividly rendered for a global audience as part of the partnership with the Google Cultural Institute. The timeline-based Museum of the World© British Museum © British Museum “The world today has changed,” says MacGregor. “And this isn’t just about putting the collection online. What do you think?
USA Topo Maps This map presents land cover and detailed topographic maps for the United States. It uses the USA Topographic Map service. The map includes the National Park Service (NPS) Natural Earth physical map at 1.24km per pixel for the world at small scales, i-cubed eTOPO 1:250,000-scale maps for the contiguous United States at medium scales, and National Geographic TOPO! The maps provide a very useful basemap for a variety of applications, particularly in rural areas where the topographic maps provide unique detail and features from other basemaps. To add this map service into a desktop application directly, go to the entry for the USA Topo Maps map service. Tip: Here are some famous locations as they appear in this web map, accessed by including their location in the URL that launches the map: Grand Canyon, Arizona Golden Gate, California The Statue of Liberty, New York Washington DC Canyon De Chelly, Arizona Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming Area 51, Nevada
Maps Mania Making Maps: DIY Cartography | Resources and Ideas for Making Maps Cartes - Ministère de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères La réalisation de cartes géographiques au format A4 (dites "format dossier") par le pôle géographique de la direction des Archives remonte à une quarantaine d’années. A l’époque, il n’existait pas dans l’édition ce genre de document aux dimensions pratiques. Le but était de pouvoir insérer, dans des dossiers diplomatiques divers, une ou plusieurs cartes représentant de façon claire un continent, une région, un pays ou une entité non-étatique. Cette cartographie a débuté de façon traditionnelle, puis – à partir du début des années 90 – à l’aide d’outils informatiques (logiciels de dessin vectoriel). La mise à jour de ces cartes se fait plus ou moins régulièrement, selon les changements qui peuvent intervenir et les informations qui parviennent au pôle géographique (découpage administratif, voies de communication, etc.). Le principal défaut de cette série est la variation d’échelle d’une carte à l’autre. Carte politique du Monde - Projection Robinson Télécharger la carte :
Peaks Peaks is a visualization that explores the origin of mountain names in Switzerland. Visitors can explore the map and interact with the data through the filters on the right. At the bottom, there are three guided narratives. The piece is best experienced in a modern desktop browser (screenshot). If it doesn’t display properly, here’s a 2min walk-through. Exploring the data and finding the story The underlying data is an amazing set of numerous georeferenced names of built infrastructure and topographical features in Switzerland. During this data exploration phase, I came across countless interesting threads of stories that could potentially be told, and eventually settled on the rich intersection of mountains and languages. Visual representation and rapid iteration To get first basic visual representations, I rendered the data with p5.js, the emerging web version of the Processing programming language. Turning interesting into insightful Polish, polish, polish Beyond Peaks
