12 Mile Hexmaps overlayed onto the Contigous United States


 Hey, there. I put a 12-mile hex grid onto North America. The projection is Lambert Conformal, so there's minimal distortion, at least within the US.

Rivers, train-lines, and urban areas are included, but there are no labels.

So, if you happen to want an unlabelled 12-mile hex map of North America with rivers, train-lines, and urban areas, then this is the blogpost for you.

And click here for a very very big version of this map which includes more of Mexico.

More maps below.


The different colors here are the different ecoregions of North America.

Here are a few zoomed-in views of the same grid and projection, combined with USGS landcover data:

Duluth, MN, looking very hexcrawlable.



Dodge City, KS, conforming to stereotype.

Atlanta, GA has such immense urban sprawl that it can be a hexcrawl all on its own.

Chicago IL's landcover features match up surprisingly well with this grid projection.





(That's it. That's the entire post. I made some maps. Have a nice day.)


PS: Have you seen the flag of Venice? It's a very good flag.
