Inspiring map of US rivers and streams! To map a thing is to be able to preserve it.
The U.S. has roughly 3.5 million miles of rivers and streams. Take a deeper look with "Where the Water Flows" - a stunning multivariate map of major rivers in the contiguous U.S. https://lnkd.in/gE4BHGQ8 🔹Map credit: Adam Thomas, P.Eng., Graduate student at The Johns Hopkins University #CartoCreativity #Cartography #ArcGISPro

9moThanks for the share and the revolutionary take! Although, if I could be provocative: in my opinion, the act of mapping also requires providing access to those who wish to preserve the evolving multi-layered narratives tied within these ecological systems. Without the knowledge share/access, cartography unfortunately remains a tool for extractive endeavors.
