The Goldfish Chronicles

Some maps I saw recently that I like.

• Who has the Oil? - A nice double valued map that uses country size to show who has the oil, and colour to show who uses the oil.
• Military Spending 2002 - A whole site full of maps that use the same general design of country size ratio’d to the average to represent data. It’s a nice looking design, and this particular map is one I’d like to see updated for 2007 as my understanding is it would be much more telling.
• Roman Britain - Roads in Roman Britain. I was reading about the Fen Causeway and got to this map. It’s not new, but I’ve always liked the history of the roads in England. I’d really like to work on an animated map that showed the roads of England evolving.
