Analysis for Who has more lakes: Minnesota or Wisconsin?, a fact check on whether Wisconsin has more lakes than Minnesota (sadly, we don't).
The analysis is done in a Makefile. The lake counts from this analysis line up closely with USGS's. For the article, we used USGS's lake counts instead of our own.
The Makefile depends on a few system packages:
- mapshaper available via npm
- rename available on Mac via homebrew
- ogr2ogr from GDAL available on Mac via homebrew
