I think about maps a lot, and I& #39;m underwhelmed and unimpressed by a lot of them. Here& #39;s one I quite like – world city populations, by luminocity3d. It& #39;s always interesting to me to pay attention to the white areas – western China, the Sahara, etc.
(Also – upcoming cities)
(Also – upcoming cities)
I& #39;d be curious to overlay this map of cities with the worldmap of rivers:

Supposed US equivalent of best selling artists by state of birth. Feels a bit confusing because people don’t buy records these days the way they used to... I don’t recognise some of these artists. Linda? Nicolette? Spencer? Dwight? Brad? Mannheim?

46. Oh this is fascinating! A team at Stanford made a "geospatial network model of the Roman world" – you can play around and check out the travel times! and really cool just to see the old names in a modern interface h/t @simongerman600 for sharing http://orbis.stanford.edu/ ">https://orbis.stanford.edu/">...

54. more from /u/jamaps – he calls these "fractal commuting trees" – I believe the color intensity represents how much people travel on these routes? You really see how human movement through terrain forms a sort of pulsing tree structure, like lightning, neurons, capillaries
