BlockMaps custom maps for your place

Map what's happening

Let us build the map for your place

You name the place — a city, a town, a neighborhood — and the activity.

We build a map website, host it, and keep it current automatically.

Map whatever your community cares about.

What we map

  • α Any place, any scale. A city, a town, a neighborhood, four square blocks — we draw the boundary wherever your community recognizes “here.”
  • β Any kind of ongoing activity. Construction, road closures, public art, business openings, civic meetings — anything that can live on a map and changes over time.
  • γ Sourced from what’s already public. Council updates, city feeds, community newsletters. We read the prose, extract the structured records, place them on the map, and link back to the source so anyone can verify the claim.
  • δ Built and run by us. You don’t operate the pipeline. We design it, host it, keep it current, and adapt it as sources change.

Protocol

How we build yours.

  1. I

    You tell us the place.

    Name the boundary and the single question your map should answer. A city, a town, a neighborhood, four square blocks — whatever your community recognizes as "here."

  2. II

    We agree on the sources.

    Council update feeds, city open-data endpoints, civic newsletters. The information usually already exists; it just lives in prose nobody can search by location. We figure out which feeds to trust.

  3. III

    We build the pipeline.

    Our system pulls each project out of the source text, resolves it to coordinates, deduplicates across posts, and writes the result to your map, which refreshes on a schedule we set together.

  4. IV

    You get the map.

    Built, hosted, and maintained by us. Use our domain name or bring your own. Embeddable in your existing website.

Tell us about your place.

Name the boundary and the data you would like to map. We’ll write back with a provisional plan and a cost estimate.

City, town, neighborhood — or whatever boundary your community recognizes.
Events, construction, permits, road closures, public art, business openings — anything that can live on a map and changes over time.
