For this week’s featured blog, I decided to use Maps Mania created by Keir Clarke. While the selection of maps on the site vary greatly, they all share one common trait: they’re interactive. Although maps naturally require viewers to develop their own conclusions about the given data, these interactive maps allow readers to go more in depth about the existing relationships within the map and how they change over time
The maps on Map Mania stood out to me because of how they make maps a tool to learn about data. Making a map interactive allows the user to visually seem and process how the data changes. It was really fascinating looking at maps that show weather and war through time using color and other tools to show change.
