Te color scale is for the number of species per area. The Amazon forest is a huge factory of life!

Red = states party to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty (Ottawa Treaty). Yellow = Ukraine, still a party but it suspended the ban in July 2025. Green = never joined, or left.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania completed their withdrawals in December 2025, Finland on 10 January 2026 and Poland on 20 February 2026 — the first countries ever to leave the treaty. The US, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Iran, Israel and both Koreas never joined.

Mein ultimativ friedliches Europa

(Katalonien habe ich vergessen) sry

Hi! I'm looking for a colorful, vintage style map of the world to hang in my apartment, but I would love for it to have accurate, up to date details (as opposed to just buying a fun vintage map). I am laughably bad at geography and I want to familiarize myself with regions as I look at it, but I still want it to fit in with my vibe. Bonus points for anything relating to the ocean/details of sea creatures in the margins.

Thank you so much in advance!!

We have 3 Greenlands now

Hello all,

I am really interested in maps and particularly about learning how all present day borders evolved / formed. I want to eventually code and create a website where I can have a time period slider for all of human history to accurately capture shape.

I need help with finding resources. Any recommendations?

Hey guys 🤓

Looking for ideias/methods to collect data on people’s behaviors at city scale to map, GDPR friendly or sensitive, in order to understand how people use or behave in public space.

PS: if you are looking for more context, my cases studies are in Portugal, more urban cities 🏙️

A while ago in Paris I came across the Turgot map (1739), the huge bird’s-eye plan where every street, courtyard and building is drawn individually. I couldn’t stop looking at it, and it made me want to try the same thing for modern cities, starting with Berlin, where I’ve lived for over five years.

I’m trying to keep what I love about those old plans: the raised oblique perspective, a muted palette, an engraved-style cartouche and a compass rose. Each city turned out to be its own challenge. Right now I have Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Vienna.

Happy to answer questions about the process. Which city should I do next? And to everyone from Munich, Hamburg and Vienna: what’s missing from your city’s map?

Found in family memorabilia.

If you wanna traverse the world map for the sake of flags, check out https://www.flaglio.com/world-map

I love to see the color combination patterns of the flags, like how the yellow and green combination is heavily underrepresented in Europe!

I’ve been stumped over this. Is this migration of some bird or animals? Maybe ocean current? It doesn’t resemble any map I’ve seen, and there’s no legend.

I made this map of the outbreak of the Austro-Prussian War in 1866. I based it off the unlabeled one on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Prussian_War#Alliances). If you see any mistakes or have any feedback, please comment!

There were also many people saying to remove all countries and stuff, so yeah that's not allowed.
