The Magnificent Maps Of The Week

Last week's Maps of the Week round-up was dominated past times vintage New York maps as well as animated conditions maps. So I idea I;d shake-it upwardly a combat alongside this week's Magnificent Maps of the Week, which features vintage maps of New York as well as animated conditions maps.

I honestly hadn't intended to characteristic my own Gangs of New York map this week. However it does characteristic quite highly inwards the novel Most Read Posts of the Week listing (see the sidebar on the right), thence who am I to argue.

The map recounts a famous 19th Century New York gang battle betwixt members of the Dead Rabbits gang as well as the Bowery Boys, using an historical map as well as images from the New York Public Library Digital Collections.

I created the map using Leaflet.js as well as waypoints.js. Using waypoint.js alongside Leaflet allows you lot to trigger map interactions past times browser scrolling. The outcome is that you lot merely remove to scroll downwards the Gangs of New York map to progress through this retelling of the Dead Rabbits Riot.


Over the terminal calendar month at that spot has been or thence bang-up examples of mapped visualizations of conditions data. Weather-grid.GL is or thence other bang-up map visualization library, which plant peculiarly good when displaying atmospheric information on an interactive map.

The Weather-grid.GL website explains how you lot tin role the library to convert gridded information into LeafletJS WebGL overlays. The site likewise includes a link to the library's GitHub page as well as to a break of event maps created alongside the library.

This Intermountain West NDFD Grids alongside Leaflet WebGL map is in all likelihood the best event of the assort of impressive interactive conditions map which tin go created using the library. The map allows you lot to persuasion temperature, RH, air current speed as well as atmospheric precipitation layers on the map. With each layer you lot tin wheel frontward or dorsum through the conditions information inwards hourly increments as well as scout every bit the information updates close instantaneously on the map.


Last twelvemonth Jonathan Soma created a bang-up mapped visualization of unmarried men as well as women inwards the USA. The U.S. Singles Map shows the break of unmarried men as well as women inwards metropolitan statistical areas (major cities as well as their suburbs), allowing you lot to suit the results displayed on the map past times age.

The map is bang-up if you lot don't heed traveling halfway across the province inwards search of a partner - but non much role if you lot desire to uncovering a local date. Luckily Jonathan has got a combat to a greater extent than local alongside his latest 2 maps, showing where the singles alive inwards New York City as well as San Francisco.

The NYC Singles Map shows singles men as well as women organized past times zip-code as well as gender. The map reveals that inwards Manhattan at that spot are far to a greater extent than immature unmarried women than men. So if you lot are woman somebody as well as aged betwixt xx as well as 34 as well as alive inwards Manhattan your best bet is to commute out of the borough if you lot desire to appointment someone of your ain age.

If you lot are a immature unmarried adult woman inwards San Francisco as well as thence your luck is in. The Bay Area Singles Map shows that 1 outcome of the 'Google Shuttle Effect' is that the metropolis is total of immature unmarried men. The province of affairs inwards San Francisco entirely actually changes when you lot movement the historic menses ranges to somewhere to a higher identify the historic menses of 50. Once you lot larn to these historic menses ranges most of the Bay Area shows a lot to a greater extent than unmarried women, although much of San Francisco remains dominated past times unmarried men inwards this historic menses range.
