That's a Wrap on The 30 Day Map Challenge
Day 22: Data Challenge – Natural Earth “Natural Earth Map“
Tommy Fauvell built a road map of the U.S. AND a reusable ArcGIS Pro project to help you fully leverage the Natural Earth public domain map dataset. Explore it for yourself today!
Day 23: Process “Making the Soil Types of Yosemite National Park in Ten Minutes”
To prove her day 13 map was built using ArcGIS Pro in under 10 minutes, Grace Anderson created a real-time tutorial video showing the entire process behind her soil types in Yosemite National Park map.
Day 24: Places and their name “Truth or Consequences”
For the “Places and their name” themed day of the Challenge, Aubri Otis used ArcGIS Pro to map Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, a town that boldly changed its name in 1950 for a TV game show deal.
Day 25: Hexagons “America’s Nuclear Fleet Faces Intensifying Climate Threats”
For the “Hexagons” themed day of the Challenge, Cooper Thomas used ArcGIS Pro to examine three critical environmental risks threatening U.S. nuclear power plants and their vulnerability to climate hazards.
Day 26: Transport “A County Collecting Summer Voyage”
For the “Transport” themed day of the Challenge, Greg Lehner used ArcGIS Pro to map his 2025 summer county collecting journey, tracking visits towards his goal of collecting all 3,144 U.S. counties!
Day 27: Boundaries “Washington D.C. Neighborhoods”
We all have mental maps informed by our favorite spots. Valeria Chavez spent time before the Challenge gathering local interpretations of neighborhood boundaries in Washington, D.C., and this map is the culmination!
Day 28: Black “Black Iris”
Five years in Jordan left Jared Kohler fascinated with its rare national flower, the Black Iris. Incorporating ArcGIS Living Atlas iNaturalist + GBIF data in ArcGIS Pro, he mapped recorded sightings across the country.
Day 29: Raster “Where Rivers Meet the Sea”
Flying Delta Air, Elizabeth Menezes thought, “It’d be funny to map Deltas on Delta using the plane’s map console.” Inspired, she brought the idea to life in ArcGIS Pro!
Day 30: Makeover “U.S. Weather Map”
A few summers ago, at the Esri UC, Zihan Song presented the process of making a wind map, mainly showcasing function over aesthetics. So, the “makeover” theme was the perfect opportunity to use ArcGIS Pro to tell a more compelling story.
