Love this map made by Christian Nold.
http://stockport.emotionmap.net/background.htm
'Whilst conventional maps show static architecture and exclude humans, this art project presents a vision of Stockport that represents the emotions, opinions and desires of local people. Over a period of two months in summer 2007, about 200 people took part in six public mapping events. This map collects together and shows the results of the two activities: Drawing Provocations & Emotion Mapping.'
The sort of tubes/pillars represent the emotions of people at particular locations using the GPS/GRS device invented by christian nold. Its no surprise that Christian has worked with looking into perceptions of an area as he had done similar when featured in http://vism.ag/vol2 and he has done other areas.
If you like this then you'll certainly want to have a read of his free pdf book of Emotional Cartography, http://emotionalcartography.net/EmotionalCartographyLow.pdf

This is a great project on mapping the history and narratives of a journey/terrain. A sort of map that is more interesting than the territory that Houellebecq proposed.

Looking to use video and record data on a journey, much like Stephen Shore has done on his journey's across america but only through photography. Just multimedia and more forms of it. I'd like to merge the projects Poetry Atlas & History Pin and maybe this atlascine.org that I recently saw but not just Canada.
See http://artcarto.wordpress.com/cartography-narratives/ for more about Story Maps.
More about the project 'Jay Crim and Shekar Davarya spent the summer of 2002 driving across the country on Route 66, collecting interviews with the people who live, work and travel on the old road. The audio, video and images on this map are the result of that summer, and offer a glimpse into what life was like on the now-decommissioned highway and what remains for those who still travel the road. The America's Highway project was intended to create both a history lesson on America of the past as well as a travel guide for visitors on 66 today. The work was supervised by Professor Bill Leslie, History of Science Department and Mike Reese, Center for Educational Resources, The Johns Hopkins University.'

When I started creative maps, I discussed with my colleague it would be good
to show learners what poetry there was about their area to try and get them
engaged with a range of creative inspiration and outlets. Behold I came across
this:
Poetry has been geographically mapped with Poetry Atlas, not as clean and
clear as the well presented HistoryView (Pin) those quill markers are just a bit
too overpowering. But the info windows etc are equally great and like history
pin it has accumulated quite a few writings about areas. They've even made a layar app or AR reality, as I would love to have ;o). They also to their credit make it really easy to explore their site searching location, browsing poems/ poets. Very Good.

Let the words of inspiration flow through your mind about your places, I
experimented with this.

This map is not a gps drawing of the owners track walking
the dog, but the track of where the dog walked (mostly ran).
I attached my gps enabled phone to the dogs collar (highly
protected, insulated) and let him loose until finished walk.
Loved the idea of a record of where he went drawn. go to
the google map and really see the zoom of where he went, ok I know its just
green.
Reminds me of Claude Heaths drawings from blind folded.

Manchesters creative network has been mapped with terrains for both geographically and digitally by Laura Mansfield. I think every city should adopt it accross the world. Not enough creative ecologies being devised for area's.
It has a lovely clean simplicity to it that lets you focus in on the colours / numbers for the key and even though it is large you can fold away and pocket it. Great for a creative tourist. Might be limited with its geographic landmarks to contextualises where abouts these places are but with the again organised simple, alphabetised, postcodes, addresses and websites on the back to type into your gps enabled phone it recovers in its accessibility and functional level.
'Contemporary Cartography //01 is the first in a series of unique pocket maps detailing the plethora of contemporary arts activity occurring within Manchester and Salford. Listing established organisations next to independent initiatives the pocket map gives an overview of what makes up, and contributes to, the creative ecology of Greater Manchester. It is a gesture towards documenting the abundance of activity occurring throughout the city and we are well aware that we may have missed off some people, places and events as the creative community continues to grow. If you are not listed on the map and would like to be, please visit MMDC website and get in touch'

I wonder if the cartographer Laura Mansfield did the data mining of places her self or if she had help compiling. But it is lovely with the dots, wavy lines, +++ plus marks for texture really soft with the odd geographic location in type. here is her description,
'I recently developed a pocket map of Manchester's
creative economy with MA students on the
Design Lab course at
Manchester Metropolitan University. The intention of the map is to present the range of contemporary arts activity occurring within Manchester and the spaces and facilities that support new work - listing established organisations next to independent initiatives to give an overview of what makes up, and contributes to, the creative economy of the city. A preview of the map was distributed as part of the
Manchester Weekender, a city wide event on 1st, 2nd and 3rd of October.'

She has done some more beautiful maps, I saw the one in corridor 8 paper featured at her site in collaboration witha few people notably Dust (who did a beautiful fanzine collaboration for pete mckee at A Month of Sundays gallery in sheffield) and her cycling map looks pretty good and may get blogged here too when chance.

'This is a project that I have been working on for about a year now. It all began as part of my personal quest to reach an understanding of and a justification for my set of personal moral and ethical beliefs. In order to help me work out some of my own ideas, I decided to work my way through the 84-part lecture series offered by Teach 21 titled " Great Minds of the Western Intellectual Tradition, 3rd Edition". The course is an amazing journey, starting with Plato and working its way through to the modern era. ' jason b.
It is a very detailed map and well worth a look.

Damn good stuff they make, wish they were more prolific in their creation but they are well
worth the wait. How appropriate then their next one is the Creative Process. I'm sure we all
think things can be included but they have pretty much nailed it. I am sure it will be doing the blog rounds as it is well deserved, but as from the blogs I am fed and try to digest from google reader it hasnt yet, so lets start the ball rolling.
Share with your many more readers than mine and explore their versatile and equally clear 'back catalogue'.
I tell you, the amount of posters I want to print so big and put up in a classroom, Periodic table of Typefaces, this, Periodic Table of Design, psd-poster - shortcuts by designbyvent, Type Timeline Map... and I'd be tempted with Periodic Table of Visualisation Methods, Information Aesthetics Diagram.
Here's what they say,
'The creative process is not just iterative; it’s also recursive. It plays out “in the large” and “in the small”— in defining the broadest goals and concepts and refining the smallest details. It branches like a tree, and each choice has ramifications, which may not be known in advance.
Recursion also suggests a procedure that “calls” or includes itself. Many engineers
define the design process as a recursive function:
discover > define > design > develop > deploy
The creative process involves many conversations—about goals and actions to achieve them—conversations with co-creators and colleagues, conversations with oneself.
The participants and their language, experience, and values affect the conversations'.
