New Road, River & Railway Maps

Railroads: H5N1 Staple inwards World Growth is a neat interactive map showing alone all the world's railway lines in addition to no other features. There are plenty railway lines around the globe for a recognizable map of the basis to appear.

Looking at the emergent map the onetime eastern bloc countries inwards Eastern Europe seem to accept the densest concentration of railway lines. The map too clearly shows, via the absence of railway lines, some of the world's concluding remaining nifty undeveloped areas, such equally the Brazilian pelting forest, the Saharan Desert in addition to the Australian Outback.

Using the Google Maps API's Styled Maps characteristic it is possible to practise a like map showing alone the world's roads. When Google showtime released the pick to manner maps I created this World Road Map.

Unfortunately when y'all zoom out Google Maps does non demo roads, then at the lowest zoom levels y'all teach a blank map. However the payoff of Google Maps showing unlike details at unlike zoom levels is that to a greater extent than roads seem equally y'all zoom inwards on the map. At lower zoom levels y'all alone meet highways in addition to major roads on the map but, equally y'all zoom in, y'all induce to meet the whole route network appear.

Nelson Minar created a really beautiful map of the the U.S. showing alone rivers. Nelson too created a release of interactive maps of the American River Map.
