Just wanted to share here a project I am finally making public: a linear map of Lake Michigan. Basically, I cut and unfurled the lakeshore into a mostly-straight continuous line. Also, this is the subject of my upcoming PCD talk, so don't read if you don't want spoilers.
You can read in much more detail how this was made (and why) on my blog: http://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2015/09/28/a-matter-of-perspective/. There's also a larger version there to browse through.
It was pretty fun to make, and I'm hoping to get through all of the Great Lakes, and then maybe put them all on an impractically-sized poster.
