Every boundary the National Park Service draws — all 63 national parks and the other 374 units, from Wrangell-St. Elias down to a 0.087-acre rowhouse in Brookline — with the date each was established, its federal acreage, its 2025 visits, and three ways to colour the map.
Every club of 182 leagues — 5,522 of them, the top flight of 122 nations, including the whole US pyramid from MLS down through the open amateur tiers and all 1,789 NCAA soccer programmes across Divisions I, II and III, men's and women's — at its home stadium on a 3D globe. Opens on every nation's top flight, flies to any continent, nation, US state or metro area, and filters by league, tier, gender and country, from hand-curated rosters, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap.
The arithmetic is locked, the systems are not. Africa's population roughly triples this century and demographic momentum makes that hard to move; whether the power, water and roads arrive at the same rate is measured here, from UN projections to 2100 down to metres of street per resident in Kinshasa.
Detroit's block-by-block structure loss and replacement, 1870-2026, on half-mile hexes normalised against the buildings actually standing — sixteen metrics, decennial census cross-check, and a measured colourblind-safe ramp.
Twelve legendary train routes — high-speed, scenic, night, and classic — draped over an interactive 3D globe with specs, filters, and popups, all client-side.
Four tips per place — north, east, south, west — for U.S. states and every country, with coverage toggles, rankings, and anomalies on a 3D globe.
A generated four-tier North American transit network connecting Census places at continental, regional, metro, and commuter scales.
A map experiment for comparing the apparent and actual size of places across latitudes.
Drive every two-digit Interstate end to end — an optimized order and orientation cuts connector drive time 86% versus strict numerical order.
One live map of everything moving through Boston — MBTA trains, buses, ferries, Amtrak, planes over Logan, harbor AIS, and Bluebikes, all client-side.
A 3D globe of North Shore Nostalgia eBay shipments — generalized destinations, great-circle routes, and sales geography from Salem, Massachusetts.
A predictive-GIS screening explorer for Massachusetts housing — six tract surfaces (stress, pressure, suitability, development, trend, 2030), MBTA and siting overlays, and live re-weighting of the suitability index in your browser.
