After introducing my 2020 dark-themed topo, some people wanted a light topo since I deleted the old "Map of the Pines HD" which just had too many errors. I agreed and introduced one at the end of 2023. Now, a year later, it's interesting that the dark 2020 topo is still much more popular, based...

I guess some of you have already had snow this season? Nothing here yet, awhile ago we had a light dusting that melted quickly, so this might be our first snow of the season. Map shows me on the edge of the 2" zone. My snow thrower's gonna stay in storage, it's been 4 years (?) since I've had it...

Working my way through the 1970 aerials, this place stood out as being unusual You'll have to wait a little while before the 1970's aerials are online, but it shows clearly in 1980 https://boydsmaps.com/#16.00/39.979926/-74.467711/nhap80/0.00/0.00 By the 1990's, it looks like trees or...

This map joins the 1980's and 1990's regional aerials with full coverage of New Jersey plus portions of neighboring states. The original imagery was a mixture of color, monochrome and infrared but I've converted it all to 8-bit grayscale for this map. These come from a variety of individual...

I'm lost because Scott didn't make his usual post alerting us to the beginning of the six-day firearm season! :D Saw a bunch of trucks parked along the roads this morning and checked. Looks like it's this week - be careful out there! I'm wearing my orange hat and vest and staying on my own land...

A new map is now online featuring complete New Jersey 1980's aerials along with the tri-state area, including Philadelphia, New York City and Long Island. https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/40.548115/-75.210790/nhap80/0.00/0.00 These aerials were acquired by the USGS National High Altitude...

Found this while looking for more vintage aerials. I'm sure some of you are already familiar with it, but I hadn't seen this web page before. Lots of good stuff here, although permission is only granted for private viewing. https://geography.rutgers.edu/historical-maps-of-new-jersey

Note: I split this from another thread discussing the 1930's aerials since it's going to be a whole new project! Well, I went down a rabbit hole and apparently ended up in a big cavern! There really are a lot of vintage aerials at DVRPC. This is the coverage of the 1959 aerials, for example...

Looking at the logfile, we had just about the busiest 24 hours I've ever seen. That's great, the site is here for you to use! But looking closer, much of it appeared to come from one person. I don't snoop on users or watch their activity, I just look at summaries of how much data is transferred...

Similar to the recently expanded 1930's aerials, I thought it would be nice to make a large version of the 1995 aerials. The interesting thing (unlike the 1930 aerials) is that these are part of the NAPP (National Aerial Photography Program) and versions are available for many other states. Took...

According to their forecast, we should have another warm winter with average precipitation and drought conditions ending. https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/us-winter-outlook-warmer-and-drier-south-wetter-north Here's an article about the forecast...

Installation of an updated version of the 1930 black and white aerials is currently in progress. The new version expands map coverage to the entire state (same as the NJGIN version). Have noticed that the 1930's aerials are one of the most popular maps and since the upgrade only involved about...

This thread is primarily for @Lynn Cremona , but might be of interest to others. In a profile post, Lynn asked me the following question: "Is there a way to see the Atlantic White Cedar footprint in the Franklin Parker Preserve, using your maps, over the decades?" Hi Lynn! Profile posts are...

Saw a few of these signs this morning, apparently they will be travelling through Peaslee WMA and Belleplain State Forest on Hunters Mill Road and First Avenue, perhaps Joe Mason Road too? What/when is this event and is the route available somewhere (so I can avoid it ;) )?

Came home this morning after an errand and a drive on some back roads, shut the car off and looked on the passenger seat to find.... a small green snake! :eek: He looked out the door when I opened it but wouldn't go out on his own. Finally had to grab him and toss him out onto the grass. I don't...

Just read about this and had a quick look, didn't spend any time exploring. The article I read says that it only works in Safari, Chrome and Edge but doesn't work on Android. Still in beta, and is expected to support more browsers and platforms in the future...

Will admit, have never tried using any of the generative AI tools that have recently become available. But I noticed they can now be accessed directly in Photoshop. So, just for fun.. "A nineteenth century topographic map of a secret location in the New Jersey Pine Barrens" (three variations)...

Have you noticed a lack of road labels on Google maps recently? I don't use them all that often, but am working on my own streetmaps of the Northeast US right now and wanted to compare some things. Here's an example of the problem: there are some pretty major roads here.... what are they? No...
