GIS Maps

These can be dragged and dropped into something like QGIS to zoom in and explore.

• Various highly detailed North American land-cover maps from MLRC
• Natural Earth - Simple and clean files for country boarders and the like.
• Project Linework - Wacky foil to Natural Earth. Highly stylized, technically inaccurate vector linework for cartography.
• EPA’s Ecoregions of North America
• GEBCO Height and Bathymetry
• Earthenv landcover
• NEO Nasa Earth Observations
• Gridded population models:
  • GPW Gridded Population of the World, v4
  • WorldPop Population Estimates
  • Global Human Settlement Layer
  • Kontur h3 hex-grid population model - strange, but very interesting looking - uses Uber’s H3 heirarchical grid system
