Poecilia sphenops distribution map

It might be useful to superimpose this single species map with the species complex map such as the one seen [http://www.viviparos.com/Fichas/P%20sphenops%20eng.htm here], perhaps using a lighter shade to indicate the distribution of the complex.

: Slave trade in the United States
;Request:
: Would love to have a new version of this map which is hard to read in current form but very important for study of antebellum US south. The original map is trying to cover everything about slavery but would love to just have a map that includes the main land and sea routes, as depicted here, with two additions:
- An additional land route running from Richmond Va through Georgia (Macon?) to Tallahassee
- Two additional sea routes, both start from New Orleans: one to Galveston, and one to Mobile
Notes:
- Don't need the routes of La Amistad or the Creole mutiny ship
- Key rivers it would be helpful to include: Mississippi River, Ohio River, Tennessee River, Apalachicola River (with Chattahoochee River extension?), Savannah River, Missouri River, Red River of the South, Alabama River (with Coosa River extension?), Cumberland River, Arkansas River, and maybe Potomac River
- please include boundaries of the 15 slave states using current boundaries: Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, Florida, and Texas
- Key cities it would be helpful to include: Baltimore, Washington DC, Richmond (Va), Norfolk (Va), Savannah, Charleston, Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis, New Orleans, Natchez (Miss), Galveston, Mobile, Tallahassee, Lexington (Ky), Louisville (Ky), Pensacola,
- Please label Chesapeake Bay and Gulf of Mexico if there is room
Minor notes:
- please do not include Atlanta (Ga) as it basically didn't exist yet. key Georgia cities if there is room were Macon, Augusta, and Columbus
- key Alabama cities if there is room: Huntsville, Tuscumbia, Montgomery
- key NC cities if there is room: New Bern, Charlotte, Wilmington
- other lower Mississippi locations of minor importance: Baton Rouge, Louisiana & Vicksburg, Mississippi
- feel free to any other cities you see from the map, state capitals etc.
- Bonus non-essential locations: Appalachian mountain range, location of Cumberland Gap, Cuba, Bahamas, Amelia Island

Request for a map showing an alternate division of California into Northern and Southern California
;Request
Requesting a California geologic map for use in multiple articles.
For illustrating the articles Northern California and Southern California, we currently have the images :File:Northern_California_counties_in_red.png and :File:Southern_California_counties_in_red_noshade.png. Both of these show a straight dividing line based on a latitude. However, the division between Northern and Southern California has also been described in geologic terms as a curve starting in west at Point Conception, extending eastward through the Transverse Ranges, shifting to the Tehachapi Mountains, and continuing more northward along the Sierra Mountains including Mount Whitney to Mount Dana, then on to Mount Patterson (California) in the Sweetwater Mountains, extending to the Nevada border. This curved line generally follows the mountain peaks along these ranges, because the division is all about how there is a natural barrier of high mountains between Northern and Southern California. The Sierra crest line is the same as the western borders of Mono County and Inyo County. Botanist Philip A. Munz said that his book about plants in SoCal "extends from its northern boundary of Point Conception, Santa Barbara County, eastward along the crest of the Santa Ynez Mountains to the Mount Pinos region in Ventura County, Fort Tejon in Kern County, the Tehachapi..." Similarly, Professor Victor P. Peterson of CSU Long Beach wrote that his book about Native Trees of Southern California would include all of Inyo County. Journalist Carey McWilliams describes the border as starting from Point Conception and going through Tehachapi after which he ignored the northeastern sweep, although he said Owens Valley was in Southern California, placing the border at the Sierras west of Owens Valley.

January 2025 Richmond water crisis
Request
Hello,
I would like to add a map of the January 2025 Richmond water crisis to its article. I believe that the data is on OpenStreetMap. Here is the [https://www.vpm.org/news/2025-01-07/winter-storm-blair-richmond-henrico-hanover-chesterfield-mutual-aid-help link] to news coverage of the map (the map is embedded in the article and looks exactly how I think that it should look on the article here), to ensure notability. Here is the [https://maprva.org/projects/water-crisis/ project page] of the local mapping community. Here is their [https://github.com/MapRVA/2025-water-crisis GitHub page] that I believe contains all of the relevant data.
If I have time at some point to learn how to do this, I will come back and do it myself, but if someone knows how to do this already, I felt that that would be more efficient. JuxtaposedJacob (talk) | :) | he/him | 04:08, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
