Stamen’s Map Stack was a platform created in 2013 for customizing existing basemaps by stacking, blending, and compositing raster tiles. This unique experience enabled quick, user-friendly map prototyping and endless creative expression by users on the web. A decade later, we are now retiring the service and spending some time visualizing the massive database of maps from the tool’s archives. This presentation will showcase some of the creativity enabled by Map Stack over its ten-year run.
