Afghanistan Albers

README.md

A map of Afghanistan with provinces and districts, using the techniques described in Let’s Make a Map. Centered with the technique described in Project to Bounding Box.

Shapefile data retreived on July 12, 2013 from MapCruzin.com at Afghanistan International Boundaries, Afghanistan Provincial Boundaries and Afghanistan District Boundaries. Original source of the data is cited as Afghanistan Information Management Services, from the Afghanistan Shape Files page, but the links to the files there are broken.

Convert shape file to GeoJSON file

ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON provincial.json admin2_poly_32.shp

Convert and combine GeoJSON files into a single TopoJSON file, making the contents of either DIST_32_NA or PRV_NAME the id attribute, renaming the PROV_32_NA property to province, and preserving the province property

topojson --id-property DIST_32_NA,PRV_NAME -p province=PROV_32_NA -p province -o combined.json international-geo.json provinces-geo.json districts-geo.json
