How I get map data

The sources and workflows I use when creating a new map.

Finding polygons (regions, counties, etc)

If it's not on Natural Earth:

  • Search the location on Open Street Map
  • Paste the OSM relation id below to download the GeoJSON

Finding non-polygons (streets, rivers)

  • Query Overpass Turbo with the relation/member and id. e.g. relation(11278792);
  • Export as GeoJSON
