I just had an email from Gabe Moss at the Ancient World Mapping Center at UNC Chapel Hill alerting me to "the release of Livy Study Maps: Book 22, the latest addition to the Maps for Texts series."
More here: https://awmc.unc.edu/2025/03/20/livy-study-maps-book-22/
"... this set of twenty-three maps is designed for students and teachers working with Livy’s text, and offers detailed coverage of famous episodes such as the Battles of Lake Trasimene and Cannae, as well as of lesser-known campaigns from Book 22 of the History of Rome. The maps are available as free digital downloads under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 license."

At the beginning of the year, the Federal Office of Topography published the swissTNE Base, which summarises all transport routes (rail, road, cable and water).
Having this data, you can't avoid the temptation to recreate @benfry beautiful 2010 work All Streets

A quick illustrative #map on the implications of using different types of centroids in regional #demography #mobility and #migration studies.
Think about what you are emphasizing.
By using population-weighted centroids, you can emphasize the population perspective in the analysis instead of the geometry, potentially improving your analysis considerably. The distance difference is stronger in sparsely populated and remote regions.

Did you know that you can package a complete #QGIS project (incl. all your layers and data) in a single #Geopackage file, e.g. to move it to another system?
Practical examples, on the new hub:

Lately, I've been messing around with adding modern 3D elevation relief to historic maps. This is the original GLO survey from 1859-60 of the Grand Marais, Minnesota area.
Learning how to do this has been challenging. I've been using QGIS > Photoshop > Blender > Photoshop as the workflow.

'Gallus Glasgow'
Wonderful old map of Glasgow from the 1860s with interactive data layers on old and new buildings.
Love to see how the city developed over the last 150 years.
One of my favorite #Petrofuture maps….The Mississippi River becomes a vast inland sea reaching up to Memphis.
Of course New Orleans is gone. I mean, c’mon.

Something is brewing at The Voyager’s Workshop! Progress on the development of the Guildenhof Town Guide is going well. Still lots more designing, writing, editing and illustrating to do, all by yours truly!
The Concept Of Indigenous GIS
--
Reading a paper (http://alturl.com/8wte5), they used the specific term ‘Indigenous GIS’ – and I found this intriguing!
As I read it, spatial data collection and analysis was done with a focus on how a tribe or social group might ‘see’ the data, including spatiotemporal....
I look forward to finding out more about what others are working on! – so PLEASE feel free to share any examples that you might have…

Six inches forward and five inches back, the #Petrofuture Florida map is one of the more dramatic ones. 66m sea level rise will emasculate the state.

Georgia is on my mind, and it's also the next up in the #Petrofuture series.
And look--Georgia contains Florida's angry inch!
