Inspired by the excellent article Johnson Creek (Willamette River), I devised a method of making urban creek maps using Template:Wide image. Here's a sample at half size. If you want to give it a shot, documentation is here.

Map of Johnson Creek. The route has been artificially straightened by orienting each of the panels differently. Note each compass rose. (Zoom in)

Media

[edit]

I upload creative-commons licensed photos I find on flickr, as well as public-domain images from the federal government. I also make maps. Some of my favorites are here...
