GIS Maps
Some geographical datasets I think are neat.

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.
- 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
