30DayMapChallenge

2024 Maps

I am doing the #30DayMapChallenge with work colleagues Léandre and Sylvain. I will only be doing every third day.

A list of 30 maps to make for the 30DayMapChallenge

Day 1 - Points

Used R to connect to MariaDB and extract data - very effective. Converted to sf and plotted, saving as SVG.

Completed layout in Inkscape.

Day 4 - Hexagons

Used R to modify the raw Corine Land Cover (CLC) data, create hexagons, used centroids to sample CLC. Used QGIS to reclassify as I was planning on doing something similar to Day 10 from 2023. Layout was exported from R, just some text added in Inkscape.

A series of maps showing land use (forest, urban, water, and other) in Luxembourg at different hexagonal resolutions - from 16km to 1km.

Day 7 - Vintage style

I wanted to do something ‘vintage’ and though I could do it by hand - didn’t quite come out in the correct style.

I made of map of the Trier city centre buildings and Moselle from OSM data, removed everything else and made the surrounding area green. Also added the old city wall.
