The clickable map

Every place in the encyclopedia that the record puts on the ground —343 of them — drawn on four sheets and joined to the articles that name it. Choose a marker to see what the archive holds about that spot.

This map marks places, not articles. Most of the archive's 28,801 place references are to Beaver Island as a whole rather than to a spot on it, and a marker for each would stack thousands of identical points on one coordinate. So the island-wide articles are reached through the place they name, and through search, which is the instrument for them.

How this map is drawn

The ground is vector geometry from OpenStreetMap, retrieved by the data repository and redrawn here in Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) — the same projection the archipelago's printed plates would be reprojected into, and the one a slippy map uses, so a marker sits on its own shoreline. Shapes are simplified to about half a pixel at each sheet's scale and clipped to its frame.

Markers are articles that carry a coordinate: places, structures, organizations, people and events. Survey records are excluded — the knowledge base holds coordinates for 1,489 PLSS quarter-sections, 745 DNR parcels and 151 land-cover polygons, and those are a grid, not places. 101 further located articles fall outside every sheet, because they are elsewhere: Charlevoix, Chicago, Detroit and further still.

Article counts come from the same backlink index that builds each article's "What links here", so a count here and a list there cannot disagree. A panel prints the first eight and links on for the rest.

With JavaScript available the sheets also pan and zoom, the search box filters every sheet at once, and the export row writes GeoJSON, CSV or a standalone SVG of whatever is on screen — generated in the browser from the data already on this page, so an export is always exactly what you were looking at. Each file carries the attribution below inside itself, because ODbL 1.0 requires the credit to travel with the geometry. None of that is required to use the map: with scripting off the sheets, the panels, the switches and every link work as they do above.
