I also used to do some bloggy things at Bostonography and the Axis Maps blog.
A subterranean bird’s-eye view
I’m rather late to this party, but it’s worth another mention. A while ago Vanshnookenraggen (a.k.a. Andrew Lynch) heroically pored over materials in the Massachusetts State Transportation Library and posted a bunch of images of old Boston transit maps to a Flickr set. (He’s got the future covered too with FutureMBTA, an excellent round-up of […]
Madbridge, Wiscachusetts and Portland, Mainegon
For the next effort from the cartographic sandbox in which I’ve been playing lately, let’s try something ridiculous again. Your typical map, particularly the modern online mashup, exists to show various data that share a common geography. For a change of pace, what about different geographies that share common data?

Pipe cleaner subway map
Speaking of metro maps, and in the continued absence of any interesting work to share, permit me this moment to mention a map I recently constructed as a gift: a map of the Boston subway system made of pipe cleaners, to be hung from a ceiling or wall. (Pardon all the obvious wire holding it […]
Current diversions: metro maps and self maps
Two ongoing things are keeping me entertained in my spare time these days. AUTOMATED METRO MAP GENERATION Metro or subway maps are cool. They’re simple, effective topological diagrams showing you how to get from Point A to Point B in the system. And, I might add, they make great symbols of the cities whose metro […]
