The map depicts average height over 5 square kilometers (1.9 square miles) regions), not the maximum heights that any one tree or small patch of trees might attain.

Indiemapper is kind of like an Adobe Illustrator for maps online. Load your data, pick the features of focus, and then map it. You have several options to choose from (12, to be exact). I won't get into every one of them, but the main ones like choropleth, proportional symbols, and dot density, are there. You've got (non-continuous) cartograms available too:

What does history look like? How do you draw time?

While tools like Google Maps are great for helping navigate the world they are often poorly suited for thematic mapping, as many features like roads and cities only get in the way of telling compelling stories with data.

An all-curves map smoothes away the awkward kinks, revealing the underlying structure of the network (below). In usability tests, this version is 30 per cent faster for planning than the official map.
