The John Snow Map

The first 'modern' map perhaps, depicting the spatial relationship between cholera cases & drinking water supply in 1854 in London. Here are two great ways to explore it:

• Interactive Web App
• Great zoomable version

The interactive web app is nice, but also an example of how much more data viz and data storytelling you can do with an Esri Story Map.

SAR Imagery from Sentinel-1

SAR 'imagery' is great, but very different from the imagery that we are used to seeing from digital cameras or satellites. Now Esri offers us the Sentinel-1 Explorer to let us see the SAR data - cool!

College Admission Rates

Nice data viz from Flowing Data: College Admission Rates for Where You Went to School. Here's the data in-case you want to try your own data viz: https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/data/.

2050 Ecosystems Projections

From Esri: We have developed a set of global layers at 1 km resolution for projections of terrestrial ecosystems in 2050 and compared them to today’s ecosystems to learn what could change.

The National Risk Map (by FEMA)

This web map is great @ https://hazards.fema.gov/nri/map

• Show the different types of risks and their associated costs.
• Show by country or by census tract.
• Show vulerabilty & resilience.
• Nice data download option @ https://hazards.fema.gov/nri/data-resources

But, FEMA - please: your color ramps are terrible!
