SYMAPbox
Description: Mapbox style emulating the style of SYMAP, a typewriter-based early GIS that produced areas of varying darkness by typing the characters . + ϴ O A X V on top of each other. Additions and concessions to this set of characters were made when creating this style (e.g. the use of the tilde to represent water) in order to ensure scalability and performance.
