But the city\u2019s hilliness is more than just ankle-biting eye-candy. Its elevation, mainly in the city\u2019s centre, is responsible for a 20% variance in annual rainfall throughout its eastern and western precincts, with bay-fronted neighbourhoods in the east also significantly less cold, windy and foggy than those facing the ocean.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nThese maps present San Franciscan peaks and troughs of a different, less savoury kind. Although the information they convey is as real as the city\u2019s actual orography, these infographics express incidence of crime rather than elevation above sea level. By mimicking cartographic methods of height demarcation, the mapmaker has hit upon a visually very arresting method to frame raw crime statistics in a geographic context.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strange Maps: 468 \u2013 Crime Topography of San Francisco San Francisco\u2019s iconic topography \u2013 with grades of up to 31% \u2013 is as much a tourist attraction as its cable cars or the sea lions at Fishermans\u2019 Wharf.
