    Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for stylized map generation are described herein. An embodiment includes enabling a user to provide a geographical region of interest, retrieving a multi-dimensional data set associated with the region of interest, determining an area outline of the region of interest based on an intersection of the data set with the region of interest, and generating a graphical representation of the region of interest and the area outline based on the data set. The embodiment further comprises instantiating a shader to generate the area outline and obtaining a shader algorithm to configure the shader. An embodiment includes applying a style package to the generated representation and modifying the style package using the shader algorithm. In this way, embodiments of the invention enable creation of stylized maps to visualize information associated with a geographical region.
