This example uses Mapbox GL JS to display a map of Los Angeles with two overlay layers: a Watts curfew map and a 1939 HOLC redlining map. A menu in the top-right corner contains toggle links for each layer. Clicking a link toggles the layer’s visibility via `map.getLayoutProperty` and `map.setLayoutProperty`, updating the active class on the link. Both layers are raster sources loaded from Mapbox tiles, rendered on top of a custom map style.

Show and hide layers

This interactive map displays two historical layers of Los Angeles: redlining boundaries from 1939 and locations from the same year’s Green Book. A menu of toggleable layer names lets users show or hide each raster or vector source independently. Built with Mapbox GL JS v0.44.1, the code adds both layers on map load and uses `map.getLayoutProperty` and `map.setLayoutProperty` to switch visibility. The raster HOLC layer and the circle-styled Green Book points come from Mapbox-hosted tilesets.

Display a map

A map centered on Los Angeles displays a raster layer with an adjustable opacity slider. The example uses the Mapbox GL JS library to render the map and the `map.setPaintProperty` method with `raster-opacity` to control layer transparency. A slider input updates the opacity value, while a click event on the map triggers a popup showing the name and type of a feature from a layer called `47greenbook-dapl9g`. The map style and raster source come from Mapbox-hosted data.

HOLC 1939

An interactive Mapbox GL map displays two overlaid raster layers of Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) maps from 1939, centered on Los Angeles and Watts. Two sliders control the opacity of each raster layer, allowing side-by-side comparison of the historical redlining districts. Clicking on the map reveals popups with the district type and name from the GeoJSON layers. The map uses Mapbox GL JS v0.44.1 with custom raster sources and built-in popup functionality.

Layers Control Tutorial - Leaflet

This example demonstrates interactive layer management in a Leaflet map, showing how to toggle a group of city markers on and off using buttons. The map initially displays a grayscale tile layer from Mapbox, with an optional streets basemap available via the built-in `L.control.layers` interface. Clicking "Add" creates a `L.layerGroup` containing four markers with popups for Colorado cities and registers it as an overlay, while "Remove" deletes that layer and restores the original base-layer control. The code relies on Leaflet’s tile layer, marker, popup, and layer-control APIs, with data sourced from hardcoded coordinates and Mapbox/OpenStreetMap tiles.

Adjust a layer's opacity

This example uses Mapbox GL JS to display a historical map layer and lets the user adjust its opacity with a range slider. A raster layer sourced from Mapbox tiles is overlaid on a custom style, and moving the slider calls `map.setPaintProperty` with a `raster-opacity` value. A second map instance shows a clickable polygon layer that opens a popup with property details. The code includes two map setups, one centered on Chicago and another on Los Angeles, both using Mapbox styles and tile sources.

HOLC 1939

This interactive map uses Mapbox GL JS to display two historical raster maps of Los Angeles from 1939, overlaid on a modern basemap. Two sliders control the opacity of the HOLC and Watts map layers, while clicking on either layer reveals popups with property type and name from the Greenbook. The map also includes point layers from the 1939 and 1947 Greenbook, rendered with Mapbox’s queryRenderedFeatures API. The code builds the visualization with blockbuilder.org and relies on Mapbox-hosted raster sources.

04: Custom Map Controls

This example demonstrates a map with two toggleable layers—hexbins and crash points—overlaid on a Mapbox GL base map. The hexbins are generated from a GeoJSON dataset of NYC crashes using Turf.js to create a hex grid and count incidents per cell, colored with a Jenks natural breaks classification. Custom UI buttons let users toggle each layer on and off, with active states highlighted. The code also shows how to filter invalid geometries and style layers dynamically.

DLF Project Map

This interactive map overlays two historical raster layers—HOLC 1939 redlining maps and Watts 1965—on a Mapbox GL base map centered on Los Angeles. Two range sliders control the opacity of each layer independently, allowing visual comparison of neighborhood classifications and later urban conditions. A clickable Green Book layer displays point features with popups showing property type and name. The visualization uses the Mapbox GL JS API with raster sources and setPaintProperty for opacity adjustments.
