Mekong Sailing - Visualisation

Using old Mekong maps to buil a personal project for a scroll based map visualization system.

This personal project is a web map visualization based on the first version of the Siam-Lao border from this website.

The project started with QGIS for georeferencing maps drawn on many pages of a book.

Then, I set up a tile server using Mapbox Studio to serve the maps.

Finally, I tested 3 different ways to visualize these maps along the Mekong River using: auto scroll, manual scroll, and manual scroll with 2 maps side by side.

This visualization system is intended to be a base for future geostories.

Made with QGIS, Mapbox Studio, Vue, and Mapbox GL.
