The link above will take you to a nicely built blog that analyzes “strange maps.” The blog contains some interesting maps, but even more importantly holds some great analysis on each map that is posted on the blog. The blog has gained great attention over time and the author’s “US States Renamed For Countries With Similar GDPs” map, which is post 131 on the blog, has been viewed more than 587,000 times. The wide variety of maps on the blog truly capture the range of maps out in the world and their capability to represent spaces in various ways. Take a look at Frank Jacobs’ blog, it really is a great way to get familiar with some interesting maps.
Sincerely,
Santiago Espinosa
