Maps of Gowanus
August 2021 - current
In my field work in Gowanus from 2021-2023, I have made a variety of maps of the region. Here are some examples of that work.
A hand-drawn map of NYC with emphasis on Gowanus and its surrounding area.
A map of Brooklyn with an emphasis on Gowanus and the Gowanus Neighborhood Plan rezoning with red lines.
A hand-drawn map of the Gowanus area with attention to locations of interest to my thesis work.
The next series of maps were created in R using the ggploty package, shape files from NYC Open Data, and 2020 Decennial Census data.
This map of Gowanus was made in R using ggplotly. The yellow line outlines Community Board 6.
The red line outlines the Neighborhood Tabulation Area.
This map shows just census tracts within Gowanus proper.
This map was part of the project, Critical Cartography: Capturing Collective Memory in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
A creative re-envisioning of Gowanus using shapes from the land use map of the region.
