This map interested me for its contrast in the clarity to others of the same type. There have been many maps of the internet and they generally appear like some cellular/fractal/fungal constellation. These maps are almost always beautiful but never particularly informative. This map of the internet breaks down the information into very clear, concise statements.

I was inspired by this map for its beauty and informative quality. This map is of the flood regions along a particular stretch of Mississippi River. The point is not that you inderstand which regions flood first or how long it will take. What is important in the image is that the flooding patterns are complicated, are much greater in area than that of the river, and have edges which shift on a yearly basis.
