Image's request under progression Request taken by F4U. Currently building this map using R and the NYTimes API. I could make a county-level map for some states, but annoyingly not all states use counties as their precinct-level (RI, MA, and CT use townships; Hawaii uses congressional districts). ~ F4U (talk • they/it) 18:40, 5 December 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Poecilia sphenops distribution map

[edit]

Because Groetjes, Peter did a beautiful work with Limia distribution maps I requested a few months ago, I am back to ask for a map showing the distribution of Poecilia sphenops based on the IUCN map.

It might be useful to superimpose this single species map with the species complex map such as the one seen here, perhaps using a lighter shade to indicate the distribution of the complex. It might be a good idea to smudge the edges of the complex distribution. Surtsicna (talk) 12:21, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for a map showing an alternate division of California into Northern and Southern California

[edit]
Request

Requesting a California geologic map for use in multiple articles.

For illustrating the articles Northern California and Southern California, we currently have the images File:Northern_California_counties_in_red.png and File:Southern_California_counties_in_red_noshade.png. Both of these show a straight dividing line based on a latitude. However, the division between Northern and Southern California has also been described in geologic terms as a curve starting in west at Point Conception, extending eastward through the Transverse Ranges, shifting to the Tehachapi Mountains, and continuing more northward along the Sierra Mountains including Mount Whitney to Mount Dana, then on to Mount Patterson (California) in the Sweetwater Mountains, extending to the Nevada border. This curved line generally follows the mountain peaks along these ranges, because the division is all about how there is a natural barrier of high mountains between Northern and Southern California. The Sierra crest line is the same as the western borders of Mono County and Inyo County. Botanist Philip A. Munz said that his book about plants in SoCal "extends from its northern boundary of Point Conception, Santa Barbara County, eastward along the crest of the Santa Ynez Mountains to the Mount Pinos region in Ventura County, Fort Tejon in Kern County, the Tehachapi..." Similarly, Professor Victor P. Peterson of CSU Long Beach wrote that his book about Native Trees of Southern California would include all of Inyo County. Journalist Carey McWilliams describes the border as starting from Point Conception and going through Tehachapi after which he ignored the northeastern sweep, although he said Owens Valley was in Southern California, placing the border at the Sierras west of Owens Valley.

Suggested source maps might include:

  • PSM V69 D294 Relief map of california
    PSM V69 D294 Relief map of california
  • California Locator Map showing county lines
    California Locator Map showing county lines

Published sources describing the mountainous border include The Biosphere and the Bioregion: Essential Writings of Peter Berg, A Flora of Southern California and Southern California: An Island on the Land.

Here's my crude example for laughs:

Please replace red areas or green areas (but not both) with deep blue, while retaining everything else unchanged. The current colours are very difficult to handle with red-green colourblindness. Anyone who can see colours at all will be able to distinguish red-or-green from deep blue, and blue-yellow colourblindness can still distinguish a light yellow from a deep blue.

Would love to have a new version of this map which is hard to read in current form but very important for study of antebellum US south. The original map is trying to cover everything about slavery but would love to just have a map that includes the main land and sea routes, as depicted here, with two additions:
  • An additional land route running from Richmond Va through Georgia (Macon?) to Tallahassee
  • Two additional sea routes, both start from New Orleans: one to Galveston, and one to Mobile

Notes:

Minor notes:

  • please do not include Atlanta (Ga) as it basically didn't exist yet. key Georgia cities if there is room were Macon, Augusta, and Columbus
  • key Alabama cities if there is room: Huntsville, Tuscumbia, Montgomery
  • key NC cities if there is room: New Bern, Charlotte, Wilmington
  • other lower Mississippi locations of minor importance: Baton Rouge, Louisiana & Vicksburg, Mississippi
  • feel free to any other cities you see from the map, state capitals etc.
  • Bonus non-essential locations: Appalachian mountain range, location of Cumberland Gap, Cuba, Bahamas, Amelia Island

January 2025 Richmond water crisis

Request

Hello,

I would like to add a map of the January 2025 Richmond water crisis to its article. I believe that the data is on OpenStreetMap. Here is the link to news coverage of the map (the map is embedded in the article and looks exactly how I think that it should look on the article here), to ensure notability. Here is the project page of the local mapping community. Here is their GitHub page that I believe contains all of the relevant data.

If I have time at some point to learn how to do this, I will come back and do it myself, but if someone knows how to do this already, I felt that that would be more efficient. JuxtaposedJacob (talk) | :) | he/him | 04:08, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This request consists of two parts: translating the locations from Russian to English and replacing the names in the map. While the latter is straightforward, the former needs familiarity with the Russian language and the places that are mentioned. I suggest you start by addressing the first part, perhaps by making a request in the Russian project. I'm also assuming that you're not really interested in the names of the rivers, but if that's not the case, then you need to mention it. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 15:09, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
i was told by @Isochrone to post this here. i do not have proficiency in Russian but i can find someone to help translate/transliterate the names. & i am actually interested in transliterating the river names, at least the major ones, because they're relevant to the content.

Pachacuti, Inca Empire, History of the Incas
Request
Would it be possible to create a map of Inca territory at the end of Pachacuti's reign based on Martti Pärssinen's map of Inca expansion, which was reused by other researchers?
While the traditional map is that of John Howland Rowe (made in 1945), Pärssinen's analysis is more recent (1992), and was reused by Terence N. D'Altroy in "The Incas" (Wiley-Blackwell), a work of reference, and by Carmen Bernand. In addition, Pärssinen's map corresponds better to the order of expansion of the Inca Empire told by María Rostworowski in her biography of Pachacuti (1953, Pachacútec Inca Yupanqui), the main reference for Pachacuti's reign. Rostworowski did not add a map to her work, sadly. The difference between Pärssinen and Rowe is mainly that with Pärssinen, emperor Pachacuti conquered beyond the Río Desaguadero up to lake Poopó (while Rowe makes the desguadero the Inca border under Pachacuti), a detail where Rostworowski agrees with Pärssinen in her biography of Pachacuti (in that she wrote that Pachacuti conquered those regions). This difference is not the same as two simple colonial chroniclers disagreeing on a matter, since it is a debate between modern academics. Pärssinen's interpretation deserves, in my opinion, it's representation on Wikipedia, to inform readers on other opinions than John Rowe's, especially since Rostworowski's biography of Pachacuti is the most important work on his reign. My request is to create a map of the empire at the end of Pachacuti's reign, without the expansion under other emperors shown (they are shown in the original map linked below). Maybe, if it is not too much, it would be possible to add some important ethnic groups outside of the Inca empire. The original map to base this map on is available here: It is page 139, and the territory necessary for the map I am requesting here is described in the legend under "The conquest of Pachacuti, together with Capac Yupanqui, Topa Inca, Amaro Topa, etc.". Thank you for reading. -- 80.187.71.65 (talk) 12:27, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
