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.

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

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.
The flag of Venice causes me immense pain.
ReplyDeleteI know. Isn't it grand?
DeleteSo grand! The maps are helpful too. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a "very big version" of the tilted map.
