I designed and developed the application for The Wall using Mapbox GL and Node to generate the map and graphics. This map built on the data collected by the Reveal data team, which is the first open-sourced data set of the current infrastructure separating the US and Mexico. It was used to accompany Reveal’s look into the costs and repercussions of Donald Trump’s proposed border wall.
