Ian Spangler gives an overview of the map resources at @bplmaps and tools for turning them into geodata:
Whether you go big or go small, you can’t map it all. But you can lay a foundation to grow and guide a new historical mapping community. @mxn mixes as many metaphors as possible to show us how:
OpenHistoricalMap is about both big and small. Case in point: @jeffme can’t talk about #empire without talking about 💩
Our friends at @developmentseed are always working on clever tooling that makes it possible to sustain an ambitious community-driven project like ours. Watch Hanbyul Jo’s rundown at #StateOfTheMapUS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xdm3I_5v10
