== Request for a map showing an alternate division of California into Northern and Southern California ==

;Request

Requesting a California geologic map for use in multiple articles.

For illustrating the articles [[Northern California]] and [[Southern California]], we currently have the images [[:File:Northern_California_counties_in_red.png]] and [[:File:Southern_California_counties_in_red_noshade.png]]. Both of these show a straight dividing line based on a latitude. However, the division between Northern and Southern California has also been described in geologic terms as a curve starting in west at [[Point Conception]], extending eastward through the [[Transverse Ranges]], shifting to the [[Tehachapi Mountains]], and continuing more northward along the [[Sierra Mountains]] including [[Mount Whitney]] to [[Mount Dana]], then on to [[Mount Patterson (California)]] in the [[Sweetwater Mountains]], extending to the [[Nevada]] border. This curved line generally follows the mountain peaks along these ranges, because the division is all about how there is a natural barrier of high mountains between Northern and Southern California. The Sierra crest line is the same as the western borders of [[Mono County, California|Mono County]] and [[Inyo County, California|Inyo County]]. Botanist [[Philip A. Munz]] said that his book about plants in SoCal "extends from its northern boundary of Point Conception, Santa Barbara County, eastward along the crest of the [[Santa Ynez Mountains]] to the [[Mount Pinos]] region in Ventura County, [[Fort Tejon]] in Kern County, the Tehachapi..." Similarly, Professor Victor P. Peterson of CSU Long Beach wrote that his book about ''Native Trees of Southern California'' would include all of Inyo County. Journalist [[Carey McWilliams (journalist)|Carey McWilliams]] describes the border as starting from Point Conception and going through Tehachapi after which he ignored the northeastern sweep, although he said [[Owens Valley]] was in Southern California, placing the border at the Sierras west of Owens Valley.

Here's my crude example for laughs:

What about [[Central California]]? [[User:M.Bitton|M.Bitton]] ([[User talk:M.Bitton|talk]]) 00:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

:Central California is not as widely used a division. By far. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 23:35, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Here a couple of maps[https://homelessstrategy.com/map-of-california-continuums-of-care-by-region/ 1][https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Map-of-California-regions-in-this-study-R1-Northern-California-orange-R2-Central_fig2_382230701 2] that could possibly be helpful.

:This is not a request for anything having to do with Central California or any three-part division of the state. It is about the two-part division of California which is inadequately supported by maps. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 01:42, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

;Article(s):

: Around 80 articles

;Request:

: 1. '''Map of early historic south India''' - kindly remove the internal borders from the map (as they are largely estimations - locations of various ancient polities or tribes). Please smudge the lines or something. 2. '''Periplous of the Erythraean Sea locations''' - This image looks incredibly amateur. Kindly remove the strange white fog all over the image. Please make this a professional map.

: I was thinking about a map of tornado tracks in Oklahoma from 1900 to 2024, as seen at [https://tornadoarchive.com/explorer/2.3/#interval=1956-04-03T12:00Z;1956-04-04T12:00Z&map=-110.0000;52.5459;1.44&env_src=null&env_type=null&___domain=North%20America&filters=partition|PartitionFilter|f_scale|(E)FU,(E)F0,(E)F1,(E)F2,(E)F3,(E)F4,(E)F5 Tornado Archive], although that's copyrighted. I'd use QGIS, but I don't know exactly where I'd get the data from. If the NWS has made a map of every tornado, I haven't found it yet. If possible, [[Template:Storm colour]] could be used to color the tracks based off of intensity. Apologies if this is malformed or anything, I've never made a map request. :) [[User:EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''E'''</span>]]_{[[User talk:EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''F'''</span>]]}^{[[User:EF5/Creations|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''5'''</span>]]} 20:17, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

[[January 2025 Richmond water crisis]]

'''Request'''

Hello,

I would like to add a map of the [[January 2025 Richmond water crisis]] to its article. I believe that the data is on OpenStreetMap. Here is the [https://www.vpm.org/news/2025-01-07/winter-storm-blair-richmond-henrico-hanover-chesterfield-mutual-aid-help link] to news coverage of the map (the map is embedded in the article and looks exactly how I think that it should look on the article here), to ensure notability. Here is the [https://maprva.org/projects/water-crisis/ project page] of the local mapping community. Here is their [https://github.com/MapRVA/2025-water-crisis GitHub page] that I believe contains all of the relevant data.

If I have time at some point to learn how to do this, I will come back and do it myself, but if someone knows how to do this already, I felt that that would be more efficient.
