Over the years, Stamen has built and maintained tools of our own to supplement great tools created by larger carto community. Join us along a cartographic debugging journey as we explore how data, tiles, and stylesheets work together to make beautiful maps.

Stamen recently collaborated with the Science Museum to develop an interactive exhibit about The Congruence Engine, a 3-year research effort to digitally connect industrial heritage collections across the UK. Read more about our collaboration, focused on the industrial city of Bradford, on our blog.

As an amateur cartographer, I do a fair bit of mimicking of other maps & techniques as a way to learn. So when I saw https://overpass-ultra.us compared to @stamen's map=yes, I was very flattered, and compelled to recreate it. This volume of data takes a second or two for @maplibre to tile with geojson-vt, but then it's smooth as silk.

Here's the query so you can run it yourself for your own city, or tweak colors & data selection: https://overpass-ultra.us/#m=12.79/37.5515/-77.4511&q=LQhQGcBcE8BsFMBcoAEKBu8BO4CWB7AO0RQA5UVYBDabcZNNYFGAByRQCMqBjAawDmWfAFdCAEwpMW0diQBmuWLCmNFsSNhIBtALy6ANCm0D4kIwlzgRWeAF0jrKlj53VadbGA98sfFhIsAU4ACgAGIwBGMIAmKIBWAGYASlVmNg5PdxR1TQDjAAsqcCNOESVxXEIBN0Y1JS8fP3yAdwLcTTSZOUoq+GzcrWN9IxN4fABbMyxoYAyHFAAZPoBlSCwqmuzYPu9ffxI2jv6QYFAQikIWrG0yis27W-LYSuqAQl1CfDsQgG9fzicfAADwAvqDkgBuS7XbSWay2XROFw-f6AkHgqEUFo0bTtAQFHHQXQTfCQfxEgD6O0Irj+AKBYIh0KxokgKFMk0hQA

Happy Birthday #OpenStreetMap!

Today is the 20th birthday of #OSM, the free map of the world created by thousands of volunteers all around the globe.

Stamen has worked with OSM data since the very beginning, and the open-mapping ethos is part of our DNA. A few years ago we wrote a two-part history of Stamen's long relationship with OSM, and you can read it here on our blog:

https://stamen.com/our-brilliant-friend-stamen-and-openstreetmap-through-the-years-21840d86ff0a/

Stay tuned for part three of this history, which we will be publishing next week!

New on the blog, a deep dive into using OpenStreetMap data to render highway shields on maps:
