Mapping Nieuw Amsterdam


New Amsterdam is an alternate history map of New York that I created to present how the map of New York would hold back inward a US of the Netherlands. It is if you lot volition an anti Independence Day map - shamelessly ripped off from the If We Won map.

I've straight off added around locations to San Francisco (or equally it is straight off known - Helige Frans). I idea that it would last a picayune harder to uncovering Dutch names for San Francisco districts equally the metropolis doesn't accept the same score of Dutch influence equally New York. However it turns out that a lot of San Francisco district names tin flame last straight translated into Dutch. For example, The Tenderloin translates rather neatly into Filet van Vlees (fillet of meat).

I was helped greatly inward creating the San Francisco labels yesteryear this Mapbox map of SF Building Height. This pretty map of San Francisco edifice superlative likewise includes a handy overlay showing San Francisco districts, many of which I only ran through Google Translate to uncovering their Dutch translations.
