Arbaronga

#OpenGeofiction #OpenStreetMap #ImaginaryMaps

My low-effort brag-post for this week is a pre-colonial hilltop fortress city called Arbaronga, in the country called Ardesfera. In the "present day" (modern era) this is not far from the center of the vast metropolis of Villa Constitución, which is the capital and largest city of Ardesfera. The fortress city remains as a grouping of restored ruins, a historical tourist...

My low-effort brag-post for this week is the neighborhood around Grants-Hogarth University, in the imaginary city of Ohunkagan (including an enclave jurisdiction called University Village). The mapping is currently in a time-warp, not yet having reached 1920, and it's not really...

Ragged River

#OpenGeofiction #OpenStreetMap #ImaginaryMaps

My low-effort bragpost for this week is something I created last month. This is a small town (maybe 8000 residents) in the northeast of my imaginary state of Makaska, named Ragged River, with a matching, smaller community across the parish boundary, called Howard. I haven't completed it, especially the rural surroundings, but it's complete enough to show I guess....

April, 2023, User Statistics for OGF

#OpenGeofiction #OpenStreetMap #ImaginaryMaps

Here is a detailed user summary data for April (I've decided to do these monthly). These are the results, ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly...

Stroadland

#OpenGeofiction #OpenStreetMap #ImaginaryMaps

My low-effort bragpost for this week is an area of Makaska I have called Stroadland. It's a bit of a joke, of course. I posit a pioneer in the area with the name Stroad, who is thus memorialized in the name. But of course "stroad" is a currently popular term for major streets in North American, car-oriented suburban development. Not really a street, not really a road: a...

"Work in progress" : Ça y est, je sais maintenant modifier les rasters d'élévation. Du coup je peux m'amuser avec Qgis2threejs. Saurez-vous identifier cette cette zone ?

Some user statistics for OGF
#OpenGeofiction #OpenStreetMap #ImaginaryMaps

I decided to play around more with some queries on the OGF API database.

I extracted detailed user summary data for January and February of this year, and put each month in a separate table.

For January, these are the results, ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways,...

#ImaginaryMaps

For this week's low-effort brag-post of my geofiction, I'm taking a detour off the OpenGeofiction site and going to my other map-server, the planet called Arhet. I built this map-server before rebuilding the OpenGeofiction site - it a sense, it ended up as a kind of audition for being considered qualified to take over OGF. Anyway, there are far fewer users on Arhet, it's a...

Country Club Alameda, Ohunkagan

My low-effort brag-post for this week is a neighborhood called "Country Club Alameda, in the imaginary city of Ohunkagan. The mapping is currently in a time-warp, not yet having reached 1920, but there's an intersection of two streetcar routes at 63rd Avenue and Melville Street, and a golf course southwest of that.

This neighborhood is...

Quelepa
#OpenGeofiction #OpenStreetMap #ImaginaryMaps

For this week's low-effort bragpost, I'm sharing my pre-modern ceremonial capital, Quelepa. The plan that I had, long ago, was to create this circa 1400's city, in the style of maybe a Mayan or Aztec city, and then overlay a modern city over it, using a historical mapping process. But I never got around to it, so the city is still there, in a kind of anachronistic reservation...
