Visualization of National Parks in the US.

Travel Map Visualization

This repo features visualization code for Regional/National travel. Using a base map from a shapefile and geopandas to create a voronoi segmented map, this code can create a timelapse of travels in a geographic region or country from a list of locations. An example can be seen below (national parks visited as of Sep 2024):
