Since Boston is sounding the “don’t drive a truck on Storrow” sirens this week, time to post this map again, now with a timeline.
As far as I can tell, either the messaging works or the idea of students smashing U-Hauls into overpasses is largely a myth. I couldn’t find any real spike in September.
Say, who will I know at SOTM US next weekend? I’ll be around with, like, zero priorities or responsibilities. Thought I should attend when it’s in my town!
The Alliance of Freelance Cartographers needs your help! By taking our short annual survey, you strengthen your #cartography community. Please help us spread this widely!
This survey is for:
1. Anyone around the world
2. Who did any amount of freelance mapping last year (even a little). You don't need to "run a business" to take it. As long as you got paid to make a map, and it wasn't part of a regular salaried job, then we want to hear from you!
Thanks for helping us empower freelancer cartographers with the information they need to make business decisions! This survey is for anyone who does any amount of freelance map production. It doesn't matter how much you freelance, whether it is a hobby or your full-time job. Please only answer questions as they relate to your freelance mapping work, not any other freelancing income. Please enter all amounts in US Dollars (this survey is for anyone around the world, but we need to keep everything comparable). Freelance projects can vary a lot in the amount they pay and the amount of work they require. Answer questions with an eye toward what's usual or average for you. It's OK to estimate! Want to be notified about the survey results? Visit bit.ly/cart-list and sign up for our mailing list! -Daniel Huffman & Aly Ollivierre
Everyone's favorite bit of Boston trivia—technically it's an island thanks to a little canal/stream connecting the Charles and Neponset—has some extremely dedicated historians over at Wikipedia. Hundreds of references! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Brook
Anyway, I made a map, of course.
Need spatial data?
The list of ArcGIS server addresses that I curate now has over 4,000 addresses for ArcGIS servers at all levels of USA government, from federal to local.
Last fall, Jonathan at https://www.geoseer.net/ (spatial data search tool) sent me a massive list of ArcGIS server addresses that have been detected by their scanning methods. I finally had a chance to process that information and added *many* ArcGIS server addresses to the list I curate. Thanks Jonathan!

The catch is that, while it’s often clear enough what organization maintains the layers, it can be hard to know the provenance of data that’s more on the “random user” side.
Also I suspect many don’t even realize they’ve made their data public! Recently I made a map using an org's data hosted on ArcGIS, and when we politely sought permission to publish they said ok and asked that we not share the data, but... it's already openly available. 🤷♂️
