From the website:
Frank Jacobs loves maps, but finds most atlases too predictable. He collects and comments on all kinds of intriguing maps—real, fictional, and what-if ones—and has been writing the Strange Maps blog since 2006, first on WordPress and now for Big Think.
I mention this because maps are often seen as depicting the way things are.
I prefer to think of maps, including maps of subjects, as useful for particular purposes.
That isn’t quite the same thing.
Questions:
- What basis for comparison/representation would you like to see used for states or counties? (discussion)
- What do you think that would show/demonstrate differently from standard maps? (discussion)
- Suggest data sources for creating such a representation. (3-5 pages, citations)
