Atlas Make

A toolbelt for building many different data formats via public Shape files (census.gov, usgs.gov)

Install System prereqs (Linux/MacOSX):

$ brew install node
$ brew install gdal

Clone repo and install dependencies

$ git clone https://github.com/bradoyler/atlas-make.git
$ cd atlas-make
$ npm install

Make all targets/recipes

$ make all

this may take about 15mins, so try $ make us-states first

Current targets:

$ make na-places (populated places in North America )

$ make us-states

$ make us-counties

$ make us-towns (county subdivisions)

$ make us-cities

$ make us-demographics

$ make us-transportation

$ make us-energy

$ make us-congress

Future plans:

expand us-demographics data (Census & ACS)
recipes for inserting data into PostgreSQL
more world-* targets
more map layers: roads, airports, etc.
rendered map examples using D3.js & D3-Node
