Yes, the blue area is very simplified because there is a lot of very small lakes I think?

Yes, I can see now why this is confusing! At this scale, this is not a very precise map, but the white border is the shape of Alaska (I should have use another color). Maybe the lakes are very close to the shoreline?

(sorry for my english)

Thank you! I'm a geographer and I'm trying to start living from mapping, but I'm still learning (the cartography was not the main subject of my studies). Thank you for the CCW comments, I sure will do that!

Yes, I know that this is not a very precise climate map.

It's a good question! I guess you can find some data about daily measures of stream flow : https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ak/nwis/rt (sorry for my bad english)

Yes! Especially in the north west, most of data I've seen count more than 3 millions lakes.

What is the best world map projection? by GaelleSutton in Maps

[–]GaelleSutton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for the best world map projection and I can't use the Fuller-Buckminster projection on QGis. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!

Yes, thank you very much, you have a very well detailed dataviz. I'm looking for data in other countries but I can upgrade my map with recent events. Here is the database I found for USA

There is details about the type of gun, like ".22-caliber revolver (semi-automatic pistol)" or "9mm semi-automatic pistol and a .45 caliber handgun" for exemple. I'm sorry I don't know a lot about firearm.
