Red Towns & Cities Of The World



Day seven of the #30DayMapChallenge brings us to the color red. In laurels of the occasion hither is an interactive map of all the red towns as well as cities only about of world.

My map isn't real interesting at all. However it is a neat representative of the might of importing as well as styling your ain information inwards Mapbox Studio. The might to add together as well as manner your ain house labels inwards Mapbox Studio has been used especially effectively this yr inwards The Pudding's A People Map of the USA.

To become the information for my map I ran a search inwards Overpass Turbo for towns as well as cities including the letters 'red' (I every bit good searched for 'rouge' as well as 'rot'). I thus downloaded the results every bit a GeoJSON file. I uploaded this GeoJSON information to Mapbox Studio to exercise a information tileset. I thus added this tileset to a novel Mapbox map style. In my Mapbox manner I turned off all the other place-name labels as well as styled my novel tileset thus that my novel place-name labels are all colored red.

Earlier this yr I used the same Mapbox Studio functionality to exercise the Map of English linguistic communication Literature, an interactive map which shows the birthplaces of some of English linguistic communication Literature's greatest writers. On this map authors, poets as well as dramatists accept been mapped to their house of nativity (although at that spot are a few exceptions where writers accept been mapped to locations which they are to a greater extent than usually associated with).
