New York City is about as urban as urban gets, but even concrete jungles harbor leafy life. At last count, there were 592,130 trees in the Big Apple, and thanks to the efforts of Brooklyn-based designer Jill Hubley, you can now study them all in a colorful interactive map.
The map, which shows the distribution of trees, color-coded by species, throughout New York City's five boroughs, was created using 2005 tree census data. Zoomed all the way out, the technicolor blur looks like a vivid star cluster in deep space.
