Just added this new map, which is based on the same NLCD and ASTER GDEM data as the Landscape Series, but combined with data from a variety of other sources. Level 12 detail, same as the other Landscape maps, so it will only be useful on a regional level. But I think it's good for general...

I just caught a few seconds on the news where they were discussing this and assumed that it meant NJ ranked #3 for people with the most mental health issues. But... it's actually the other way around, we're #3 for the least mental health issues. "An overall ranking of 1-13 indicates lower...

Check your wallet! :D These seem like they would be obvious, but apparently people have passed them at Wawa when they are too busy to look closely.... https://www.nj.com/camden/2025/09/fake-movie-money-is-being-circulated-in-nj-town-cops-say.html

https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a66068517/new-jersey-fossil-discoveries/ There was no paywall for me here, but that could change. If so, then this is the website for the fossil park https://www.efm.org/ Looks pretty cool, but not sure how I feel about the way they are monetizing it...

Was just reading about this map here https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidbressan/2025/09/13/new-map-shows-us-geology-in-unprecedented-detail/ You might hit a paywall with that link, I originally read the article on Apple News (you need a Mac or iPhone for this)...

"Consumer protection investigators found mislabeled product dates and spoiled products waiting to be placed on display, officials said. The investigation then expanded to all five Stop & Shop stores in Ocean County, authorities said, where they found 'systemic mislabeling practices'."...

Just in time for Independence Day! Explore the changing face of America during the past 40 years with nine new maps covering the whole country. They use historical land cover data and 3d terrain to create an effect similar to aerial photography. The resolution is pretty low (about 125 feet per...

Not available yet but I hope to put it online tomorrow, along with a series of nine new maps of the entire United States - just in time for the 4th of July :dance: (more on this soon). The maps menu keeps getting longer and I don't like having to read through the whole list just to find the...

Don't think I've seen this effect before, guess it has something to do with the heat. It's certainly not rain! :D

Continuing on my current nostalgia trip, I have just published a new map of the vintage USGS DRG Topo's we used twenty years ago. These were the first digital versions of the 24k topo maps available from the USGS. They were also used by terraserver and topozone and I have updated my link...

After browsing old threads recently, I got the idea of fixing all the broken links to terraserver. And today, with Guy's help, it's done! I wrote a translator that "ingests" the original link and opens a new link to the boydsmaps 1990's B/W aerials. These aerials are from the National Aerial...

This came up in a Google search for something completely unrelated. Never heard of the Evergreen Foundation before and don't recognize any of the many people in the stories. They're probably all well-known, I just don't know them (but I don't get out much). :D Only scrolled through this...

Here's something I never noticed before. On the old topo maps, the section of the Mullica between Atsion Lake and Batsto is labelled as "Atsion River". Can't remember any discussion of this before, maybe I missed it? You can see it here: Vermeule...

Good news for us?... "And then something interesting happens around the Virginia border: The dots suddenly stop. Traveling north along the coast, a single dot marks a 1903 hurricane in southern New Jersey. The dots pick up again around the New York border. The map is a fascinating...

A new map is now available for your amusement! :dance: 2017 USDA/NAIP aerials with mid-atlantic coverage. I will be upgrading all the NJ NAIP aerials to this larger area in the coming weeks. A bit of trivia.... my maps of the Pines are about 500,000 tiles. Full New Jersey maps are about a...

From the NJ 2024 Property Tax Relief booklet I received the other day. Even dead people need to follow the instructions. :D

Finally got around to looking at the requirements since my Driver License is up for renewal this summer. Looks like a real pain in the butt, might be hard to come up with everything they want. https://www.nj.gov/mvc/realid/ My passport expired last year, apparently I could renew and use it...

You often hear about "porch pirates", but this is really crazy! :siren: "Thirteen members of an international network worked to steal FedEx shipments of iPhones from people's porches, using automated scripts to scrape data from FedEx tracking systems and also bribing corrupt employees from...
