This map was an entry to the Esri User Conference 2017 Map Gallery. It was the WINNER of the "Most Unique" category.

The map represents a 4km x 4km area covering the Gas Lamp Quarter in the south up to the airport, Balboa Park and the world-famous San Diego Zoo. Over 330 different emoji characters were utilised, including those supporting diversity. The map-building process was primarily data driven with research using satellite/aerial imagery for areas with unknown land use. Some fun and mischievous features were added, including a unicorn and “Bob” the zombie – both set as challenges for viewers to find.
