30-Day Map Challenge – December 18, 2019 at 09:22AM

For the month of November, Topi Tjukanov announced a 30 Day Map Challenge on Twitter.

Announcing #30DayMapChallenge in November 2019! Create a map each day of the month with the following themes 🌍🌎🌏

No restriction on tools. All maps should be created by you. Doing less than 30 maps is fine. #gischat #geography #cartography #dataviz pic.twitter.com/6Go4VFWcJB

I did not take the time to participate but was amazed at the people who did, many of them every day-and some of the results are pretty fantastic.  I will highlight some of the ones I liked (mostly showing the tweets) though I did not see everything that came along.
For example, here is Lego Oaxaca.

My submission for #30DayMapChallenge day 2 – lines:
Commuter rail (not Amtrak) in northeastern US. Some data was hard to find (esp @MTA). I’ve taken these lines from Wilmington DE to New Haven CT. Shows how challenging #railroad is in US. #Map produced in #QGIS 3.8. pic.twitter.com/HKgzCUYRr8
