I'm The Map!

First off, why is Dora the Explorer's Map so fired up to tell us he's a map? I mean, come on, it's his name! He's doesn't really need to repeat it five times, "I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the MAP!" 
And for the last one, he really gets pushy, like we didn't hear him the four previous times. 

But on to maps:

Check out some of my favorite map tools that AREN'T Google Maps. Shows some pretty opening up ways to view the world and about ourselves. (whoa... that sounded deep!)
​
​Interactive Map Maker from Nat Geo

Try using the layers to see incredible views like Human foot or the world at night
Census Map
This NY TImes map takes data from the 2010 Census to show who we are in terms of Population Density and Ethnic Distribution
Age & Politics
How Birth Year Influences Political Views. Try looking at your birth year
270 to Win
Oh the election is in full swing and this incredible shows how many delegates are needed to win. But check out all the past elections going back to the first
Visualized Data Map
Maybe my favorite map tool of all time. Hundreds of cartograms on national data like Wealth, Disease, Lifestyle, and more 
Population Pyramid
Not really a map but great tool comparing populations in all the counties. 
Baseball
Fun map which shows where the fans of MLB teams reside
American Dialects
Just look at how who calls that beverage Soda and who calls it Pop, or Tennis Shoes vs Sneakers
History of Religion 
Animated change over time. map showing growth and spread of world religions

I'm working with a group... Ozarks South Central Tourism... which includes 3 counties in rural Missouri, I would like to add a map of the 3 counties, Webster, Wright and Douglas on the website I am creating for them... my problem is, the map program that exists for them does for one address not for 3 counties... any ideas on how to get that area?

Really enjoyed checking out what you have available...
