how the map works

to access the map of the city of Tempe, first, review the TempeSuperblock maps. these organize large areas of the city into a series of numbered blocks.

at the bottom of each post is a list of labels. these are links that produce a view of the blog including only posts bearing a particular label.

clicking the label "tempesuperblocks" will display all the Tempe superblock maps.

at the bottom of each superblocks post look for labels. if you want to look in more detail at one of the superblocks, look for the label for that superblock, for example, look for a label under the superblocks1-9 post for superblock 1. This will bring up a map with numbered blocks (in some cases, there will be "multiblocks") within superblock 1 and all the posts specific to the blocks and multiblocks identified in that superblock map.

block maps are very detailed - or greatly enlarged - views of single blocks. these can in turn be subdivided into what i'm calling aspects. an aspect can be documented using field observations, for example, photos, notes, data sets. linking to an aspect, via the labels attached to its home post, will display all the posted field observations and research results for that aspect.

multiblocks are subdivided into blocks using the same system with the labels, and then those blocks are subdivided into aspects.

to list observation in this system, users will need to contact me, and describe their data/content, so that i can work out how to incorporate it. see my profile.

for even more about the system, use the about label, below.
