Election maps explore each country's political history. We have a bunch of them for you to look back through.
No matter the result tonight, it will be mapped out and part of history just like these.

🚨U.S. forces have struck Iran’s Qeshm Island on November 2nd, according to U.S. officials via WSJ.
The island sits at the Strait of Hormuz, a critical area for global oil supplies. These strikes come right as the U.S. midterm elections kick off, with reports of a possible post-election war escalation.
We will have to wait and see what satellite imagery can tell us about this event when it's made available.

How much of Australia’s seafloor have we actually mapped in detail?
This map, compiled by the University of Tasmaniain in 2023, shows exactly where the seabed has been surveyed.

Is Iran shifting more of its trade towards the Caspian Sea?
Shipping activity in the Caspian reportedly rose from 127 Russian and Iranian-flagged vessels in February to 211 in March 2026.
With the U.S. naval blockade putting pressure on Iran’s southern trade routes, Tehran may be increasingly relying on its northern corridor to move essential goods and maintain trade with Russia.
Satellite imagery of Nowshahr Port and Bandar Anzali could offer clues to how these routes are being used as the war continues.

Havana is Cuba’s capital, founded by the Spanish in 1519. This vintage 1962 map offers a view of Havana during a very different period in the city’s history, just three years after the Cuban Revolution.

I made a tribute to the history of SAR with my new best friend, Sol 6.1. If you're curious about the history of SAR, this is a fun way to get a primer, and there's an out-of-this-world Easter egg hidden in there, too. sarsarsar.com/

Ultra-high-resolution imagery of Northern Gaza was briefly available to view on Israel's GovMap website. It's since been censored.

However, one of our community members @Nrg8000 preserved the map for anyone to explore, analyse, and compare for themselves.
Some of these data centres are churning up the landscape like bad growing weed! soaratlas.com/maps/142936 This one in Texas is almost 6km2! 😳
It would be prudent to do analysis to see how much of the worlds surface in km2 has been taken up by data centres vs solar panels etc

Israel's GovMaps has now removed this imagery from its map platform.

Here it is, in the full original resolution. The fidelity of aerial imagery really highlights the complete destruction.
Thanks to @SoarAtlas for hosting the imagery.
