#30daymapchallenge Day 11 Senses: Sound | Sounds of State Street

A revamp of one of my first prints, and it’s in my book too! The map shows the theaters, venues, and events (past/present), that have contributed to the sounds of State St, Madison’s half mile pedestrian corridor.

#30daymapchallenge | Day 10 Prompting only | Data Centers and Moratoria

I mainly use AI for data preparation or complex expressions. But for this prompt, I made the final map directly through Claude, testing using only typographic styling for classification.

Typographic map of Wisconsin counties, each shown as a four-letter abbreviation arranged roughly in place on a black background, with no outlines or fills. Text weight shows data center status, from faint gray (none) to bold white (existing or large projects), with strikethrough for stopped projects; italics mark moratoria, underlined when adopted. Many northern and western counties are faint, while the southeast, around Walworth, Waukesha and Kenosha, is bold.

#30daymapchallenge Day 9 Urban-rural | Ice Age Trail

The Ice Age Trail follows the edge of the last glacier for about 1,200 miles across Wisconsin, from remote woods to the main streets of small towns.

Illustrated shaded-relief map of Wisconsin titled "Ice Age Trail," with the trail drawn as a dark blue line looping from the northwest, east through the north, down the Lake Michigan side, and back west near Madison. Solid blue lines mark yellow-blazed segments, dotted lines mark unmarked connecting routes, and red dots mark Trail Communities. Place names crowd the trail, with towns clustered along its southern half.

#30daymapchallenge Day 8 Utopia | Nolen's 1910 Park Plan

Utopia, 1910 style: a “model city.” That was landscape architect John Nolen’s name for his vision, in “A Suggestive Plan for Madison: A Model City.”

Map of Madison, Wisconsin, and its lakes overlaid with John Nolen's 1910 park plan. Existing parks at the time appear in teal and Nolen's proposed parks and lakeshore drives in orange, over a tan street map with current parks in light green. Teal clusters on the west and southwest, mainly around the lakeshore and university area, while orange traces lake edges and a few downtown parcels.
