Summary

Westchester Land Trust, owning over 1,000 acres in New York, utilizes maps to share information about hiking-accessible preserves and undisturbed conservation easements, while various individuals have created diverse maps for different purposes. These include highlighting Boston buildings by construction year, global battery gigafactories, Bath's traffic-free neighborhoods, Monterey County's paramedic coverage areas, and Alameda County's parcel assessment densities. Other maps focus on Mumbai bookshops with walking routes to train stations, affordable housing development in Toronto, whale strandings on the East Coast, and high-altitude aerial object sightings. A new Slack group encourages map creators to share their work on Felt, with the best maps to be featured later.
