Hi, I'm Alex McPhee! I live in Val Marie, am the proud holder of a University of Alberta BSc, and am a professional cartographer (seriously, this is a real job that exists).

On-wiki, I specialize in Canadian graphics and geography. Check out my other work at awmcphee.ca.

These are generated using a fairly simple Python script, made as my first programming project after graduation. (Harder than it sounds, as the only thing I learned in university was Matlab.) Arranging the grid squares to minimize distortion is an art, not a science.

• User:Awmcphee/Land Cover - Instructions for replicating the colourimetry used on my land cover maps.
• User:Awmcphee/Pushpin - Some thoughts on using the locator map template for community articles.
• User:Awmcphee/Maplink - Testing Template:Maplink on some Alberta municipalities. (Verdict: It only works on the largest of the bunch, and then, not accurately.)
