Yosemite Map

A topographic map of Yosemite National Park and immediate surrounds.

View the current on-line version.

Dependencies

The following are required:

• PostgreSQL with PostGIS
• osm2pgsql
• A recent development build of TileMill. I used this one. The development build is required for some raster operations.

Instructions

Note that so far this has only been tried on Mac OS X.

First download all of the data (~0.8Gb) for the map:

yosemite-map$ ./download-data.sh

Then create the PostgreSQL/PostGIS database that will house the data:

yosemite-map$ ./create-database.sh

Then populate the database:

yosemite-map$ ./download-data.sh

Next, symlink the tilemill-project directory into your TileMill projects, something like this:

$ cd ~/Documents/MapBox/project/
project$ ln -s ~/src/yosemite-map/tilemill-project/ yosemite

Then run TileMill and open the 'closedcontour - Yosemite' project.

Fonts

The font styles in style.mss call for fonts that may not be present on your system, feel free to modify.
