Thanks for cleaning up the map requests I made. Sorry to make all that work. I have been adding pages to WikiProjectBC and I guess I got the template request wrong. KenWalker | Talk 16:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
For the river mapping; I totally stole, er borrowed... was inspired by your maps. :-) Pfly 01:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
As of a few moments ago, Paulins Kill was promoted to Featured Article status. I just wanted to thank you for your contributions to and suggestions for improving the article over these past few months and that I appreciate your help in bringing this article to notice as a Featured Article. Once again, thank you, and keep up the good work. —ExplorerCDT 22:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Seeing there was no map for the Mekong page and thinking it a cool looking river/watershed, I made a map. But just as I uploaded to the Commons, I found I was about to overwrite your Mekong watershed map. Yours looked almost exactly like mine, but seeing it was last edited over a half year ago and wasn't on the Mekong page here, I went ahead, renamed mine, and added it to the Mekong page. Hope that's okay! Pfly 06:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello Karl. I have seen your map of Aral Sea waters, including Amu Darya and Syr Darya and would like to ask, if you can draw clarification. Syr Darya is created in Uzbekistan by confluence of Naryn and Kara Darya rivers, hence it doesn't flow in Kyrgyzstan as your map shows. Thank you. - Darwinek 13:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for updating our map. I guess we need to dig up some more data to get the rest of the world. I found quite a bit, but then I ran out of steam. We need more, obviously. But it is coming.--Filll 04:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Can you be more specific in what you are looking for in a Western Sahara map? There are already two maps based on the U.N. map in commons and I've noticed that insane edit wars erupt whenever someone tries to use one of them. Is there a consensus on what a NPOV map should look like? Kmusser 18:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I noticed in the imgage that you uploaded Grlakes lawrence map.png that you have two different chades of blue. Does the darker blue represent fresh water? If so, this should be added to the description. --Kalmia 08:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Is there a way to get the eps files you used on your Class I Railroad map? I don't have access to GIS
You mentioned suggestions on your page, so I thought I'd write my little list of pages I've thought of making maps for (but won't for a long time if ever -- currently trying to focus on a for-print map that might be of commercial value!). I don't know if any of these would be fun or worthwhile, but here are some of the pages: Cross Timbers, Transylvanian Plateau, Southwest Trail, Natchez Trace, Wilderness Road, Old Wire Road, Saskatchewan River, Red River of the North, Honey Lands, and something for the various headwater tributaries of the Tennessee River (like the Clinch River, Holston River, French Broad River, Hiwassee River, etc etc). This last one I may get to someday, perhaps in the style of the Monongahela tributaries. Pfly 21:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and you did the Chowan River, I just saw! Wonderful, I've been thinking of doing that for a while, but would never have gotten to it, thanks! Pfly 21:16, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I know you commented so thought you'd want to see this. I put the problems with someone gutting this article up for mediation at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2007-02-10_Discordian_Works I hope I stated the case clearly and without sounding angry even though I am.

I added the first map request and created the map on the article, but the map is not accurate. I made it in Microsoft paint so it was a guess game, the article needs a more accurate map. If someone knows how to make good maps, I can give links and send them files of the map of the Kurdistan Republic. --D.Kurdistani 01:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the Pee Dee watershed map! Pollinator 17:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks so much for the barnstar! As an amateur mapmaker here I can say this means alot coming from you, your maps are very professional. The rivers maps are especially useful as many river articles are were lacking in the map department. Cheers! (its taken me a while getting back to you as ive been on a little wikibreak) --Astrokey44 11:13, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
The Wallkill River, please. Daniel Case 06:47, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Neversink River. Can you make sure to show the East Branch and West Branch in Ulster County?
Also Image:Lackariversmap.png misspells the name of the Lackawaxen River. Daniel Case 18:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Small tributary of the Hudson in Orange County (I just created the article). If the map could also show, and name, three tributaries — Otter Kill, Cromline Creek and Woodbury Creek — that would be great because it could be used for articles on all three as well.

The image you just added to Miami International Airport has an error, PAP is placed in Jamaica, when it should be placed in Haiti. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 02:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello Kmusser,
I don't mean to dig up a previously discussed point, but I do agree with the previous contributor regarding the map on the French Empire and French India articles. Although you (I presume you compiled the aesthetically pleasing maps) accurately indicate French dominions and influence on the India map, the world map mistakenly portrays areas of French influence as part of the French Empire. I'm afraid that is not supported by the map or by historical fact. After all, Hyder Ali/Tipu, the Nizam, and the Marathas were all independent rulers until their defeat/treaties with the British. Although Dupleix was an effective and cunning imperialist, I think we give him a little more credit than he is due with that map. Moreover, due to this map, the French world empire article notes that half of India was under French rule, which of course isn't true. Please let me know what your thoughts are and if the changes can be made by you or someone else. Thanks for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Devanampriya 06:48, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the nice compliment. Good Luck, Buaidh 19:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
In your map detailing non-stop flights from Las Vegas, you included Tokyo-Narita. Since Japan Airlines stopped service to Las Vegas, I'm not certain there is a carrier that flys directly to Narita. I checked the Korean Air, Phillipines Air, United, NWA, and Delta sites, and didn't see any direct flights from Las Vegas. I might have missed something, but I don't think there is non-stop service to Tokyo. ― El Cid ∴∵ 03:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Hehe.. yes I did once try to figure out the river and drainage system of the Finger Lakes, but got overly confused by the various canals, among other things. Glad to see you are doing New York rivers -- I grew up near Buffalo and went to college for a few semesters at Oswego. Pfly 06:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

For creating a fantastic map of Plymouth colony, which really improves that article! Jayron32|talk|contribs 19:09, 13 June 2007 (UTC) |
Kmusser, I'm a GIS Associate from Pittsburgh, PA interested in helping make maps for Wikipedia. I like the idea of using the maps standards you have in place and I think your maps look very nice. Would you be able to send me a copy of your GIS files (probably just the MXDs) so I could start making some Wikipedia maps? Thanks! Skeetidot 22:01, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Could you make a map of all the non-stop destinations from the Region of Waterloo International Airport? It's a small airport so it shouldn't be that hard to make a map of. You can include seasonal destinations. I'm trying to improve this article, and this map would make it so much better. Thanks. User:JayzRaptorz 21:01, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the much improved map of Missouri rivers! You might want to upload a newer version, though. Just this weekend I was having a conversation about the many spellings of "Meramec" in various locales around the country. In Missouri the river is named Meramec, not "Meramac" as you have it. The confusion is certainly understandable. The largest spring to feed the river is even spelled differently: Maramec. --Kbh3rdtalk 18:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know that I changed the box around the inset to be a thick black line, for ease of viewing in thumbnails. Hope that's ok, and thanks for the work. --SarekOfVulcan 16:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Maryland, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 00:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello. You had made several airport destination maps a few months ago, and said you wouldn't update them unless there were significant changes, well, in the past few months, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has seen the addition of San Jose, Managua, San Pedro Sula, Lima, Saint Maarten, Ponce, Syracuse, Buffalo, Guatemala City, and Barbados by Spirit, Jetblue and Air Jamaica, would it be possible to update the map now considering all the new destinations that have begun? -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 20:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Howdy, Kmusser! Astrokey 44 referred me to you. Here's the question I laid out for him:
As for US County maps, all I'm really looking for is an outline map, preferably with rivers, and maybe with the county seat and/or largest city (just for orientation purposes). I'm putting together a page on the waterfalls of northern Georgia; I have the waterfalls grouped by county, and for each group thought I could number the entries and then place corresponding numbers on a county map. I've found map generation websites, and I could probably make maps with Adobe Illustrator, but I would prefer that they be stylistically similar to other maps at Wikipedia. Thanks for any advice.
I'm a huge map geek and look forward to any advice you might be able to offer. PurpleChez 13:27, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Given your excellent work on the Plymouth Colony map, your name popped into my head as being able to help with an otherwise great article that just needs a map. The article is Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 and the article is up for Featured Article status at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916. In a nutshell the article contains a map which dates from a 1916 newspaper article; the map and data obtained from scholarly source do NOT jive, and the article could really benefit from a well done computer generated map. Take a look if you have the time. If you want to do this, you may want to check the article talk page or drop a note to User:Dmoon1, who appears to be the main custodian of this article. Thanks in advance! --Jayron32|talk|contribs 06:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed one last thing: the attack at Spring Lake happened on July 6, the map says July 7. Dmoon1 07:47, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Trawling over Wikipedia over the past couple of days, I found a really shoddy map at Image:Mariana trench location.jpg, and your user page. A lightbulb illuminated over my head. I'm sure it'd be an easy job for you to produce a more attractive version, should you so please. The articles aren't projects of mine, but a crappy .jpg just doesn't cut it. Thanks for your time!

Jayron32, of Plymouth Colony fame, recommend your map-making skills to me. I am currently working on an article on Mary Wollstonecraft's Letters Written in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, a travel book she wrote about her tour of Scandinavia. I was just going to scan a map from a book I have, but a non-scanned image would be easier for users to read, I think. The map would need some basic outlines of the countries she visited and dots for the towns she visited, along with a little line detailing her travel route. There is a verbal description of her route in the article already and two of the sources I used have maps in them, which could provide you with a starting point (I could upload the clearest one somewhere for you). Let me know if this is something you would be interested in doing. Also, I would be happy to copy edit or peer review an article for you in return. Awadewit | talk 03:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words, which I appreciate. Once the debate closes I'm thinking I might write a proper article on Etivluk, since there are quite a few sources out there. I've even found a US govt (and thus, I assume, copyright-free) photograph. If you're interested, it might be fun to collaborate. Best wishes, Jakew 15:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Karl,
Are you able to make public domain maps from previously published ones? I am guessing you can, since you have done so for the British Raj page. I was wondering if you might be interested in working (collaborating) on some maps in the Partition of India page, which I am now again hoping to get back to. The maps (three of them) are in this section of the article. Let me know what you think. Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 03:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's because of MediaWiki's... dodgy support of SVG. The easiest way to fix it is to convert the curved text to a path (select it, then choose Path Menu/Object to Path). Hope this helps. --Dave the Rave (DTR)talk 12:23, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Karl, when Larrys Creek was on the Main Page an IP editor changed the creek's length diff with the comment "added accuracy to creek length based on NGS report". The changes (22.9 miles to 22.86 miles and 36.9 km to 36.91 km) seemed reasonable, so I left them in, but I am unable to check this or find the report and wondered if you knew what it might be.
I left a message on the IP address talk page, but there has been no response. I tried contacting the U.S. National Geodetic Survey but they do not have this information. I have looked at the National Geographic Society's website but cannot find any such reports. Since you are a professional cartographer, I thought I would see if you knew of any other possible sources of NGS reports (whatever NGS may be).
I was hoping this was real, as I would love to get more river length sources. However, I finally checked the conversion and the numbers are a bit off (22.86 miles is really 36.79 km, not 36.91), so I am starting to think this is a very sneaky vandalism. Thanks in advance for any help with this, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I hope you are doing well! After what seemed like the monumental tasks of finishing the Mary Wollstonecraft featured topic and the Joseph Priestley page, I have turned to the little Joseph Priestley House article and I was wondering if you could make a map illustrating where the various places listed in the "Location" section are. I'm not quite sure how much area the map should cover. How best to show where this spot is in relation to Pennsylvania in relation to the rest of the world, eh? I will trust your instincts on this. Obviously no rush. Awadewit | talk 06:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Howdy, Karl. I've gotten a lot of good use out of your river basin maps. Here's a request for you, if you have the time and interest. I suspect it will be easy for you to do, since it basically covers area you've mapped before in your Ohio River map.
The map in question is for the article Westsylvania, a proposed but never recognized U.S. state. The best online version of Westsylvania's borders I could find is here. Thanks! —Kevin Myers 12:06, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for adding those towns. There are more maps like this than can be made for existing articles, if you're interested. For example, one map could be used in these two articles about proposed colonies: Mississippi Land Company and Charlotina. You can view a map of these two colonies here. It may be hard to read, since the original had colored boundaries. I have the original if you're interested and need more details. Ordinarily I would just scan the public domain map and use it, but the colors are faded and don't show up well. —Kevin Myers 01:50, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Karl, I am in a quandary. I was starting work on a request (on the requested maps page) for a replacement of a Muslim history gif map. I've since been collecting similar maps, blank maps, and other data in preparation. I was/am planning on creating a couple of maps to provide a consistent look to the article (etc etc).
Well, come to find out that User Javierfv1212 has just now added two maps to that article (Muslim history). The bad news is that the maps, um, well, leave something to be desired. In fact, he has uploaded a lot of maps that leave something to be desired (see these maps here).
So, what do you think I should do? I haven't started creating the map(s). Should I go ahead with my plans to create a series of maps on early Muslim history, replacing his? Or should I just mark this request closed and carry on with other requests?? And, should I give my thoughts on creating better maps??
I want to be collegial but I also want to have high-quality maps in our important articles (in fact, all articles). Help! MapMaster 23:08, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Kmusser. I am interested in making maps and have made some myself. Im not sure about the quality of my maps cos im still quite new. I have a few question on mapmaking if u dont mind. First, i plan to make route maps for airports in Malaysia. I actually created 1 for Kota Kinabalu International Airport, and based in on your map style. But it was quite ugly. I used this online map creator: . Can u tell what software(s) u used to create your maps? Or do u prefer i request u to do it? I have also created route maps for airlines (Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, MASwings), but im not sure if those maps are wikipedic. U can see these maps in the link below.
For other maps, i have used available maps in commons and edited using Microsoft Paint. Some of my works can be found in Wikipedia:WikiProject Malaysia/Cartography, and in my commons gallery. Do you know where i can create a blank map which is similar to a map produced by google (with all the detailed island, coastline, including rivers and lakes)? kawaputratorque 08:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Kmusser. Im really interested in having a map of the nonstop destinations from my hometown which is Bogotá in Colombia. It would be great to have a map like yours to grow interest in El Dorado Airport. I have personally been updating the page about the airport.

I'm trying to generate a map showing the source and outflow of this river but all map sources seem to be copyrighted.

I am always impressed with your maps. I love your maps. Would it be possible to generate a map of New York City (and the associated georeferenced locator template to make it work?
