Last week's Maps of the Week round-up was dominated past times vintage New York maps together with animated atmospheric condition maps. So I idea I;d shake-it upward a flake amongst this week's Magnificent Maps of the Week, which features vintage maps of New York together with animated atmospheric condition maps.
I honestly hadn't intended to characteristic my own Gangs of New York map this week. However it does characteristic quite highly inward the novel Most Read Posts of the Week listing (see the sidebar on the right), thence who am I to argue.
The map recounts a famous 19th Century New York gang battle betwixt members of the Dead Rabbits gang together with the Bowery Boys, using an historical map together with images from the New York Public Library Digital Collections.
I created the map using Leaflet.js together with waypoints.js. Using waypoint.js amongst Leaflet allows you lot to trigger map interactions past times browser scrolling. The number is that you lot but require to scroll downward the Gangs of New York map to progress through this retelling of the Dead Rabbits Riot.
Over the final calendar month at that topographic point has been precisely about slap-up examples of mapped visualizations of atmospheric condition data. Weather-grid.GL is precisely about other slap-up map visualization library, which plant peculiarly good when displaying atmospheric information on an interactive map.
The Weather-grid.GL website explains how you lot tin purpose the library to convert gridded information into LeafletJS WebGL overlays. The site every bit good includes a link to the library's GitHub page together with to a number of event maps created amongst the library.
This Intermountain West NDFD Grids amongst Leaflet WebGL map is likely the best event of the assort of impressive interactive atmospheric condition map which tin go created using the library. The map allows you lot to persuasion temperature, RH, air current speed together with atmospheric precipitation layers on the map. With each layer you lot tin bike forwards or dorsum through the atmospheric condition information inward hourly increments together with lookout adult man every bit the information updates nearly instantaneously on the map.
Last yr Jonathan Soma created a slap-up mapped visualization of unmarried men together with women inward the USA. The U.S. Singles Map shows the number of unmarried men together with women inward metropolitan statistical areas (major cities together with their suburbs), allowing you lot to arrange the results displayed on the map past times age.
The map is slap-up if you lot don't heed traveling halfway across the terra firma inward search of a partner - but non much purpose if you lot desire to notice a local date. Luckily Jonathan has got a flake to a greater extent than local amongst his latest ii maps, showing where the singles alive inward New York City together with San Francisco.
The NYC Singles Map shows singles men together with women organized past times zip-code together with gender. The map reveals that inward Manhattan at that topographic point are far to a greater extent than immature unmarried women than men. So if you lot are woman somebody together with aged betwixt xx together with 34 together with alive inward Manhattan your best bet is to commute out of the borough if you lot desire to engagement someone of your ain age.
If you lot are a immature unmarried adult woman inward San Francisco together with thence your luck is in. The Bay Area Singles Map shows that i number of the 'Google Shuttle Effect' is that the metropolis is total of immature unmarried men. The province of affairs inward San Francisco exclusively actually changes when you lot motility the historic stream ranges to somewhere higher upward the historic stream of 50. Once you lot instruct to these historic stream ranges most of the Bay Area shows a lot to a greater extent than unmarried women, although much of San Francisco remains dominated past times unmarried men inward this historic stream range.
