Since last weekend, I was trying to make Kannada maps. To give a shot, I chose Chamarajanagar district, Karnataka. The data is from OpenStreetMap and SRTM.

Here are some of the output in different styles:

You can plot simple Stamen map (© OpenStreetMap contributors) in R using below steps:

Install below packages in R Studio:

install.packages("sf")
install.packages("ggplot2")
install.packages("ggmap")

Once you installed, do load them using below code:
library(sf)
library(ggmap)

Next go to Geofabrik Tile calculator and copy the desired location co-ordinates.

Example: I copied Bengaluru co-ordinates using Coordinate Display tab under Osmosis copy and stored in bengaluruCoords like below:

bengaluruCoords <- c(left=77.17, bottom=12.59, right=78.05, top=13.34)

Finally run below code to generate map tiles:
get_stamenmap(bengaluruCoords, maptype = "terrain") %>% ggmap()

Here is the output:

Happy mapping & coding!

OpenStreetMap evolved since many years. Millions of contributors are helping this project to grow everyday. Inspired by some of my friends, Karnataka and Ireland evolution projects, I wanted to vizualize different parts of the world.

Sharing simple animated GIF that I created using Mapolution on Docker on my Mac showing different countries’ OSM edits over years. The snapshots are taken for every 30 days from the starting date.
