Day 10 - Air
Rhode Island Annual Mean Wind Speed 🍃
RI coastlines, urban areas, and lakes are pretty windy at the surface level. Prudence Island was a little surprising, given the stories from early settlers. Poor Block Island, though (probably my symbology).

Day 8 - Urban
Rhode Island Urban Land Use
This is my first time using OSM data for a land use map. The data seems pretty complete, a near mirror of my Forest Types map. Hopefully, Knoxville will get to this level of coverage one day.

Day 7 - Accessibility
Walking Times from the Independent Man
The Independent Man is a gold-plated bronze statue on top of the Rhode Island State House, located in Providence, RI. This is an isochrone map that I made more complicated by symbolizing the roads by color and weight.

Day 6 - Dimensions
Rhode Island Elevation Contours
I tried using the 2.5D tools in QGIS for this one, but I didn't like how they turned out. After creating the color ramp, I added the shadows in Affinity Designer. This gave the contours a 3D effect.

Day 5 - Earth
The Forests of Rhode Island
Back to Rhode Island! This is an extension of my East TN Forests map. I may make a state-level series out of these.
(Sorry Block Island, I had to clip you out of this one.)

I used an SVG from the Noun Project as a tree symbol; however, QGIS couldn't change the color or size by attribute. It turns out you have to modify the XML. And it is very picky!
I used- fill="param(fill)" stroke="param(outline)" stroke-width="param(outline-width)" -before the style element.

Day 4 - My Data
RSCC Tree Map
A couple of summers ago, RSCC students Kasey Byrne and JD Burnette helped me map the trees at the Oak Ridge campus. They logged the tree species, heights, diameters, canopy, and general health. I digitized the other campus features.

Day 3 - Polygons
The Native Lands in Rhode Island
One of my carto goals is to make a big map of the native lands in the US. Judging by my experience with this RI map, I may have to map by region or state level. Lots of boundaries overlap, making it difficult to show them all.

Rhode Island Historical Hurricanes (1851-2024)
Someone made a map of hurricane tracks over FL for a previous 30 Day challenge. I don't remember who it was, and I can't find their info. It was on the old site. Either way, that map inspired me to make one for RI.

Rhode Island Lighthouses
Most of my maps will be about Rhode Island. A good way for me to learn about a place (and find datasets) is to try to create a map of a thing.

Prudence Island is the 3rd largest island in Rhode Island. It is home to over 100 year round residents and is only accessible by boat or ferry. Most of the island is protected from development by the locally run Prudence Conservancy and the NOAA associated NBNERR.
