The mapTO 2020 Map-A-Week Challenge
We make maps of Toronto. We will be posting a map a week for all of 2020. Follow along.
Mapping Toronto's 'Geography of Difference'
Over the winter we’ve had our heads down working on a project with our friends at The Local. Our role was to provide interactive mapping describing how socioeconomic differences across the city align with health outcomes. The process involved several tools including QGIS and GDAL, TippeCanoe and Mapbox GL.
Ontario Elevation Map
Using the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s digital elevation model (DEM) we visualized the elevation across the whole province of Ontario.
Toronto Rail Transit Map
Inspired by one of our favourites, Massimo Vignelli, we designed a map of rail transit in Toronto operated by the TTC (subways and streetcars)
Every Building in the GTHA
Heavily inspired by the New York Times’ incredible A Map of Every Building in America, we have created Every Building in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
The Amalgamation of Toronto
This map is based on the City of Toronto’s Annexation Map. The City of Toronto Archives have a high quality digital version of it here.
Wikipedia has a detailed timeline of Toronto’s amalgamation and annexations between 1791 and today. This map was made possible because of Mapbox, Turf, and QGIS.

The Newest TTC Map: On Paper vs. Reality
I was always curious, when looking up at the TTC's subway map, what it actually looked like. I ended up recreating it to scale one day and was surprised by the response. Since the TTC is updating the map, I thought I would take another look at it, but with some analysis this time. Using Bernhard Jenny's MapAnalyst I was able to create a deformation grid over top of the subway map.
GTA Exaggerated Elevation
30m digital elevation of model visualized using the three.js plugin for QGIS.

Great Lakes Bathymetry
Using data provided by Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, we created a map that shows the submarine topology of the Great Lakes. The map is available as a 32" x 24" print.
Interactive: Population Change in Canadian CMAs, 2011-2016
Using Mapbox GL to create an interactive visualization of percent change.
