Finished converting the B1 The Keep on the Borderlands map of the Caves of Chaos to a tile map based representation.
To make the map playable in the DND1 engine, I needed to connect the higher up caves back down into the valley. You can see the long passage running along the bottom of the map to get to Caves K and J, for example.
I might tweak the map again to make things align more but for now it is very serviceable.

Still playing catch-up. Day 11 · #30DayMapChallenge · Sound. The Sound of New Jersey. These are population hexagons filled with the average noise from roads, railways, and planes over a full day. Teal is quiet, orange is loud. Darker, slightly raised hexagons mark denser population.

As the UN adopts an equal world map, meet the three geographers who disputed how the Earth was charted 2000 years ago

Drumroll... here is my map updated to the most recent information I have - which is the LRO images over the last few months. It's not very different from the Chinese map except that it's up to date and has lots of annotation - dates for each location, some feature names etc. It always amazes me that China doesn't put out a map like this for what is really a very important mission. Maybe when it is finally ended there will be an official map.
#maps #moon #china
I found time to update my map so here we go. First... I have looked at some sources of information, but another important one was (obviously) Chinese maps. The one shown here is the latest I have seen, popping up in social media over about 6 years, but no more recent update. This goes up to lunar day 59 (October 2023). Other maps crop up in journal articles but contain less detail. This is good for positions but has no annotation.

"What's in a (place) name?" by Kelsey Taylor draws a line from 1,584 cities to whatever they're named after: a person's birthplace, another place, a river or a word. Pick a city to read its name history, or drag the year slider to watch names change.
844 of them are named after people. Melbourne's namesake was born 16,904 km away, in London.

Some country borders are just straight lines a ruler drew
Rivers and mountains make crooked borders. Straight ones are drawn by people. Much of Africa's map was ruled off in European capitals in the 1880s. Those lines still cut through peoples and rivers today.
Boost it if it is useful, and tell me what I missed.
QUESTION
i get that @organicmaps started as an alternative to Garmin and other proprietary navigation maps. i get that forks like @CoMaps are still catering to the mostly car & transport audience.
but why is it that neither has the most basic subdivision of a country ―like the basic map of the 48 contiguous USA states i’ve included.
do i have to download 18 gigabytes of maps into a phone to get those subdivisions rendered; or am i missing something?

The way a continent appears on the map can shape perceptions of its place in the world – so much is at stake in the depiction of its size and scale.
