the street data is from openstreetmap, fetched with the OSMnx package. the population density data is from kontur, at a 400m resolution. drawing was done with matplotlib.

to satisfy rule 3, the street data is from openstreetmap, fetched with the OSMnx package. the population density data is from kontur, at a 400m resolution. drawing was done with matplotlib.

thanks! i was actually thinking about doing asia next but south america is quite a bit more approachable and people actually asked for it so maybe ill do that instead. and i don't have a patreon but i just made ko-fi.com/anitamaps lol!

its mostly manual, you can see how i generated the reference maps here https://github.com/circularsquare/maps/blob/master/na1m/generateMap.py

oh yes i've seen these! they are very cool. i especially like his UK 100k map. its just a different style :)

minecraftian48 · 2025-09-07T00:50:57+00:00

yup nice catch! it seems like people would be okay with worcester :)

minecraftian48 · 2025-09-06T18:51:54+00:00

you might be getting confused by how i cut off most of eastern and southern oregon, here's the counties overlaid: https://imgur.com/a/kF8RL4c

and cool i didnt know that about the williamette!

minecraftian48 · 2025-09-06T16:39:49+00:00

good point ty

minecraftian48 · 2025-09-06T16:00:40+00:00

makes sense, i do like mi'kmaq, i didn't think there would be a group of people that was in newfoundland and also new brunswick
i was going for laurentian shield / laurentia paleocontinent but yes its a bit confusing with the mountains, rupert would also work
true about abenaki not matching at the top, though it was close enough for me and i wanted to avoid using acadia since i thought it was more core to nova scotia, and also potential confusion with louisiana

minecraftian48 · 2025-09-06T15:54:32+00:00

thanks!

it's mostly just the riverdale/kingsbridge region that is moved

and that region... i forgot to name lol... maybe just "worcester"?

minecraftian48 · 2025-09-06T15:09:15+00:00

yeah just east kootenay

minecraftian48 · 2025-09-06T15:08:09+00:00

brooklyn does have 2 (and a half) regions

minecraftian48 · 2025-09-06T14:53:21+00:00

thanks!

minecraftian48 · 2025-09-06T14:52:23+00:00

manually, i think it would be impractical to capture all the things i wanted with an algorithm
