World population 1500, and other maps
Here is a population-weighted map of the world, circa 1500:
Here is the projected world population map, circa 2050:
Here are other neat maps. Here are maps of tourism, emigration, and refugees. Here is my favorite, a map of the flow of net immigration. Or try this map of aircraft departures, watch Africa disappear. Here is the strange geography of fruit exports. Here is how to make South America look really big, or reallly small (can you guess?).

Random idea: It would be pretty neat if one also created some map animations. For example, one could have an animation showing a sequence of maps portraying population/income/disease over a number of years. It would also be neat to see things like how internet traffic over the period of a day.

I like the net immigration map. Costa Rica is the fat little bulge of Central America. :)

Wow. The Falkland Islands are far more populated than I ever guessed.

I just finished 1491 - thanks to the MR for recommending - shouldn't the New World be MUCH bigger on the 1500 map? As in - bigger than Western & Eastern Europe combined?

It's odd that the immigration map shows a significant flow into the Middle East. All I can think of is that the contract workers from South and East Asia in the Gulf countries are being counted as immigrants.

Neil: it already exists for disease/life expectancy, etc.

Tyler: I think you`d appreciate the link as well. At first it seems pretty basic, but the later pages have some really cool graphic comparison features!
