New 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 upwards a flake amongst 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), thus 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 amongst Leaflet allows yous to trigger map interactions past times browser scrolling. The consequence is that yous only bespeak to scroll downwardly the Gangs of New York map to progress through this retelling of the Dead Rabbits Riot.


Over the concluding calendar month at that topographic point has been roughly peachy examples of mapped visualizations of conditions data. Weather-grid.GL is roughly other peachy map visualization library, which plant especially good when displaying atmospheric information on an interactive map.

The Weather-grid.GL website explains how yous tin laissez passer notice purpose 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 discover of event maps created amongst the library.

This Intermountain West NDFD Grids amongst Leaflet WebGL map is in all likelihood the best event of the assort of impressive interactive conditions map which tin laissez passer notice hold upwards created using the library. The map allows yous to sentiment temperature, RH, air current speed as well as atmospheric precipitation layers on the map. With each layer yous tin laissez passer notice bike frontwards or dorsum through the conditions information inwards hourly increments as well as spotter equally the information updates most instantaneously on the map.


Last yr Jonathan Soma created a peachy mapped visualization of unmarried men as well as women inwards the USA. The U.S. Singles Map shows the discover of unmarried men as well as women inwards metropolitan statistical areas (major cities as well as their suburbs), allowing yous to adapt the results displayed on the map past times age.

The map is peachy if yous don't hear traveling halfway across the province inwards search of a partner - but non much purpose if yous desire to abide by a local date. Luckily Jonathan has got a flake to a greater extent than local amongst 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 topographic point are far to a greater extent than immature unmarried women than men. So if yous 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 yous desire to engagement someone of your ain age.

If yous are a immature unmarried adult woman inwards San Francisco thus your luck is in. The Bay Area Singles Map shows that i consequence of the 'Google Shuttle Effect' is that the urban core is total of immature unmarried men. The province of affairs inwards San Francisco solely actually changes when yous motion the historic current ranges to somewhere inwards a higher identify the historic current of 50. Once yous larn to these historic current 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 current range.
