You'd have to say that "State of the Map" is @openstreetmap's franchise for annual conferences. They exist by continent/region and you may recall that I travelled to Salt Lake City last month to talk about my practice at State of the Map US.

The recording of that talk's been published on YouTube. Amazing I got through a very dense deck in 15 minutes even with all the time-filling & embarrassing "um"s.

Last month I gave a talk at the State of the Map US conference about our work migrating @stamen's famous OpenStreetMap-based map styles to a modern platform in partnership with @stadiamaps. Now you can watch the recorded video of the talk on YouTube:

Water is continually reshaping the landscape. @GeoDave shows how to map rivers, dam breaks, and more in OpenHistoricalMap.

We all start somewhere. @mxn got his start in a Walmart parking lot. Behind every seemingly mundane element on the map, there’s a story to tell. Where will your first OpenHistoricalMap edits be?

You wouldn’t know it from the name, but OpenHistoricalMap can also document the progression of natural features from long before recorded history all the way to the present day. Here’s a workshop about mapping glaciers that @jeffme recently held at State of the Map U.S. in Salt Lake City:

Even with a time slider, if we only focus on mapping stable, “permanent” features, we ignore a lot of important history. @nfgusedautoparts has a plan to start mapping events too. Learn about the next frontier of OHM data modeling and start thinking about the historical events you want to map!

Somehow we were able to fit this overview of OpenHistoricalMap’s recent advances in just 15 minutes. All you contributors didn’t make it easy! 😁

I gave a lightning talk about @SmallTownUSA at State of the Map US a few weeks ago. If you're interested in accumulated stats or want a list of the towns still needing some attention, please take a look!
