Revision as of 18:03, 9 January 2014

After having finished the Regional Geohash maps for the 50 United States, I thought about the next big thing I could work on. I was intrigued by the Land usage code that some graticules used to map out what's in their area. Instead of going that way, I decided to do a more empirical approach, and see where the geohashes have fallen in the Peoria graticule since 2000-01-01. I worked on and off over the last year to look individually at each daily geohash (>4000 days for the initial 11 years), and log the coordinates and what type of land it was. I organized everything in an Excel spreadsheet and graphed the results, seen below. --Dvdllr 12:08, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
