Cattle in America (2017)

The other day, I was looking at George Jenks' dot map of hogs in America on Facebook. 70 years ago in 1953, George Jenks wrote about and helped popularize the technique. It's fairly common these days, as it gives a good way to spot dense clusters of population.

Percentage of Town Area Sloping North

Generally speaking, north sloping property is considered less valuable due to being colder with less sunlight, which is bad for agriculture, solar production and general human happiness.

WMS Mapping

One thing I miss not having internet at home is not having access to web mapping services (WMS). These internet services are handy layers for mapping without downloading individual tiles for aerial photographs, hillshades or topographic maps. I particularly like WMS now that I found the Forest Service topographic WMS service and several state’s hillshades derived from 1m or 2m DEM.

They sure are handy to have access to.
