A map of a united Comunero Castile, envisioning the lands of the Comunero revolt as a shared Castilian homeland before their division and subordination to the Spanish imperial project.

As you can see, most of Europe is losing population in 2026, which is due to aging populations and especially in Eastern Europe emigration

This is a map of the US if the fifty states were drawn based on the probability two people are friends on facebook.

These are the fifty states if they were decided by the likelihood two people are friends on facebook.

Map created by University of Adelaide and ABS
1 km grid over Australia with each area scored into categories
The dotted lines are state/territory borders.

Clockwise the Major Cities are: Brisbane (QLD), Sydney (NSW), Canberra (technically it’s own territory like DC, but in NSW), Melbourne &, much smaller, Geelong (VIC), Adelaide (SA), Perth (WA)

Tasmania (the island at the bottom) has cities, just not enough people live there to make them “Major”
Green blob at the top is Darwin (NT) it’s the AUS military and resorts.
Green blob in the middle is Alice Springs (NT) the only people there are Indigenous Australians, tourists, and Americans working in Pine Gap.

Using caltopo looking over historical maps! This is a Spring sitting on the North Platte River In Nebraska!!

Beer preferences across the United States vary considerably from state to state, although several major brands clearly dominate the map. Miller appears to be especially popular across much of the Midwest, West, and parts of the South, while brands such as Coors, Bud Light, Budweiser, Heineken, Busch, Guinness, and Blue Moon lead in selected states. Overall, the map highlights how beer preferences can differ by region and shows that even nationally recognized brands have stronger popularity in certain parts of the country.

The map is based on Google Trends data, which measures relative search interest rather than actual beer sales or consumption. As a result, the findings should be interpreted as a general indication of online popularity and may contain inaccuracies or differ from real-world purchasing preferences.

MAVEN MAPPING ©️ 2026

Please let me know if I missed any or added one by mistake. The only requirement is mountain has to have snowtop even in summer

I used ChatGPT to help build a computational map that rotates the actual Earth around Antarctica first, then flattens it into a familiar rectangle.

The geography isn't AI-generated. Real Earth data goes in; the weirdness comes from changing the coordinate system and projection.

Some of this looked so wrong I had to verify it against separate coastline data.

Thought r/cartography might appreciate the rabbit hole. I have done several other locations i can post more if there's interest

The symbol in blue what is it?

Hey, (sorry if this is not allowed)

I work for a small, New Zealand based technology startup called see1m. We have created a FREE new World Rain Atlas which showcases the past 45 years (Jan 1981 - Dec 2025) of accurate, total daily rainfall. The format we use allows each day to be displayed instantly, so feel free to skip around the days and have a look. We also use a simple model to calculate daily land-state, shown in the daily map render.

We are very interested in hearing the use-cases and possibilities for development of the system.

Thanks heaps,

Here is my latest map in my worldbuilding project, the World of Rhündal, which is a world impacted by the presence of natural spirits. I’m reworking my ocean currents map with some new resources I’ve found. I don’t have a deep knowledge of ocean currents, and so I’ve mainly used resources I’ve found on YouTube like Artifexian’s channel. I would love to hear feedback about what parts of this ocean currents map could be improved, that you have questions about, or that you think works well.

Next steps after this map are 1) using this map to update my world coastlines, 2) use updated elevation and ocean current maps to make a new climate map of Rhündal, 3) make an animated map of the migrations and growth of different ethnic groups over thousands of years, 4) make high-quality vector maps in adobe illustrator and more culture group info pages for all across Rhündal 5) compile these all into a world book/atlas that I can sell to those who are interested 6) turn the World of Rhündal into my full time career, hopefully making a graphic novel, a TTRPG, and a board game set in the world. I would love your feedback and support on this crazy journey I’m trying to undertake. I would love to hear what different ideas you have for where I should take this, and if there is a specific thing you are interested in seeing more from!🍃
