Topography of U.S. states in ridgeline (Joy Division 'Unknown Pleasures') style
by Xeni Jardin from Boing Boing on (#540ES)
IMGURian @KRANKARTA6 did an awesome topography visualization project in the "Ridgeline Style" that reminds us of the album cover for Joy Division's classic LP 'Unknown Pleasures.'
USA states' topography in ridgeline / stack plot / joy plot style.
These map artworks are created from SRTM elevation data and processed in QGIS and python.
All images have the same elevation scale.
