Slippy Map
This was a fun one. I created this map for Geography 572, an advanced cartography course at UW Madison. The challenge was to style a basemap in a particular artistic style using MapBox and CartoCSS. Custom icons were also added.
The map attempts to mimic the form, color, type, and texture of the Matrix movie. Points of interest included on the map (see Sydney, Chicago, and Oakland) are all locations in which parts of the filming of the movie took place. For example, the AWA tower in Sydney is indicated on the map; this building was visible in a scene where Morpheus was dangling from a helicopter.
