#Let’s go, Doc!
With: Sarah MP
#Setup:
- sign up for mapwarper.net
- bring your laptop, or borrow one!
- load your patience_and_enthusiasm file
#What we’re gonna do: We will
- geo-reference the scanned map so that web tiles can be generated at mapwarper
- create GeoJSON data to be overlaid, using Mapbox
- create a custom base map (to serve as reference/present day)
aaaand if we have time, we will
- integrate all assets in an interactive (github) web page
tl;dr
you’ll make a digital map out of a really old one! Handholding is provided.
