Worldmapper: The world as you've never seen it before

Worldmapper is a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest.
There are now nearly 700 maps. Maps 1-366 are also available as PDF posters. Use the menu above to find a map of interest. In 2009 we added a series of maps of the world's population using a gridded cartogram approach: Worldmapper Population Atlas
If you are interested in more background on map projections, read the short introductions about Worldmapper and map projections and gridded cartograms as a map projection.

Please note that the Worldmapper archive kept here on the University of Sheffield servers will not be updated anymore and is a repository of the initial Worldmapper platform launched in 2006. The pages under this address will remain as they are now. If there is a relaunch of Worldmapper in an updated and improved form, it will go online under our main address at www.worldmapper.org.
We also have limited capacities to reply to any email inquiries - please read the auto reply or the FAQ which should answer most of the questions that we receive. Some updated and new maps can be found on the Worldmapper-related research blog at www.viewsoftheworld.net
