Lately, I've been messing around with adding modern 3D elevation relief to historic maps. This is the original GLO survey from 1859-60 of the Grand Marais, Minnesota area.

Learning how to do this has been challenging. I've been using QGIS > Photoshop > Blender > Photoshop as the workflow.

A yellowed historic plat map from 1860 that shows elevated hillshade were the survey draws appear. The rest is flat. The bottom shows who did the surveys, but it is in cursive and nobody can read that anymore, right?

The Concept Of Indigenous GIS
--
Reading a paper (alturl.com/8wte5), they used the specific term ‘Indigenous GIS’ – and I found this intriguing!
As I read it, spatial data collection and analysis was done with a focus on how a tribe or social group might ‘see’ the data, including spatiotemporal....
I look forward to finding out more about what others are working on! – so PLEASE feel free to share any examples that you might have…

Well, the previous map was kinda boring, as far as these things go.

The South Carolina #Petrofuture map…things start to get interesting again. Plus, a preview of Florida! Everyone’s favorite sea rise map.

Et voilà les cartes postales sorties de l'imprimerie. 5 belles cartes postales à l'ancienne, où il faut écrire derrière avec sa main et un vrai stylo, coller un timbre et puis la mettre dans une boîte aux lettres jaune... pour faire plaisir. On peut les garder pour soi aussi 😉 .
On peut les acheter : gremaps.etsy.com

5 cartes postales qui représentent des massifs alpins avec un niveau de la mer à 1000 mètres en moyenne au-dessus du niveau réel.
Carte postale qui représente le massif de l'Oisans avec un niveau de la mer à 1400 mètres au-dessus du niveau réel.
Carte postale qui représente l'arc alpin, du Sud jusqu'à l'Autriche, Massif Central compris, avec un niveau de la mer à 1000 mètres au-dessus du niveau réel.

Y’all know where this is going, right? I keep moving down the coast. South of NJ is the #Petrofuture of Maryland, Delaware, Virginia. #WashingtonDC, #Baltimore, are mostly flooded.

Next up after this is…?
