The Beautiful Spaces Map

The cartographic core of Beautiful Spaces is the interactive map hosted on the WorldMap platform. It is the clearing house for the geospatial information used here and the source of the still map images. You can find it here.

You can get a sense of what the map looks like and how it works from the embedded version below, but it is much easier to toggle layers on and off from the main portal (rather than via the green box in the upper left corner). Also, on the main portal the data is "live" - when you point and click, a dialog box will pop up describing the relevant bits of the map. Please note that many of the map layers are available for use in your own map work: you can either download the layers of your choice or simply import them into your own map on WorldMap (this is certainly the easiest way to use the data).
