30 Day Map Challenge - 2024

The 30 Day Map Challenge is an annual social media event to challenge your self to make more maps. I’ve never participated before because it seemed very daunting to make all of these extra maps on my off time to share with the world. Particularly because many of the categories are types of maps and analysis that I don’t do often. But, what the heck? I probably won’t be able to complete them all, but some is better than none. I’ll be updating this post throughout November to share what I’ve made.
