Welcome to Critical Atlas! My name is Leigh and I am a professional GIS technician, cartographer, data visualizer, and web developer. Believe it or not, those are also my hobbies. When I encounter a neat set of data, I sometimes make a map or a chart to visualize the data, just for fun. Often, these visualizations lead to interesting and critical discussions of the data and its implications. My hope is that sharing these visualizations with the public will spark broader discussion on a wide range of topics.

Each map or chart shared on the site will include:

• links to source data
• information about projection
• a list of the software tools used to create the image
