Mappit.ai — frontier geo-intelligence. Every place has a story.

The world's zeitgeist on a map. Mappit turns the world's news into a living, interactive map. An always-on news engine continuously reads what is happening in nearly two thousand places — its own crawler, which reads the world's publishers directly and supplies more than nine in ten new stories, working alongside frontier AI from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI in the jobs a crawler cannot do — and pins each story to the place it is about, on an interactive, time-aware map of the planet. Zoom into any city and you see what's happening there right now — grouped by topic, colored by mood, drawn only from publishers that clear a reliability bar and weighted toward the most trusted, marked with how many independent sources found it, and with every source link checked so the stories you read actually lead somewhere real. Scrub the calendar backwards and the map replays how the world looked on any past day, because each day's record is kept rather than replaced.

On top of that news layer, Mappit adds live views of the physical planet — earthquakes, wildfires, air quality, and weather — and a market layer that plots stock movements at companies' real headquarters. A built-in AI guide named Marco answers questions about any place and cites its sources — the news there and, from an atlas of open data, its population, borders and statistics, each figure with its year and source. And Mappit is frontier geo-intelligence: eight Layer Apps put the official numbers beside the news, coloring the world's countries and America's states, counties and congressional districts by the economy, population, energy, health, conflict and the 2026 US elections, drawing every nuclear reactor and data center, playing it all back through time, and writing an AI analysis of any view on request. Anyone can browse for free; a subscription unlocks the ability to create and share your own places, collections, and data layers. And AI assistants can read Mappit directly: add https://mappit.ai/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant, free and without an account.

The core idea is simple and durable: place + time is the most natural way to organize what is happening in the world, and the value compounds every day as the record grows. The map is the interface; the permanent, corroborated, geolocated corpus of world events beneath it is the substance.

Mappit requires JavaScript for the interactive map. Every public place, pin, collection and profile also has a crawlable page — see the sitemap.

Mappit's analysis

Geography & Setting

Fort Recovery is a village in Mercer County, western Ohio, just a few miles from the Indiana line. The land is flat, with farm fields in every direction and little to interrupt the horizon. The headwaters of the Wabash River rise in the area, and the river leaves Ohio nearby on its long run across Indiana. US 127 and State Route 49 are the main roads, and the nearest large cities are a drive away.

History

Few villages this size carry as much frontier history. On November 4, 1791, a confederation of Native nations, including the Miami, Shawnee, and Lenape, overwhelmed an American army under Arthur St. Clair on this ground. Roughly 600 soldiers died, the worst defeat the U.S. Army has ever suffered at Native American hands, and by proportion of the force engaged it ranks among the costliest in American history. The engagement is known as the Battle of the Wabash, or St. Clair's Defeat.

In 1793 General Anthony Wayne's army built a stockade on the battlefield and gave it the name that stuck: Fort Recovery. Wayne's men buried the remains of St. Clair's dead there. In June 1794 the fort withstood a large Native attack. Wayne won at Fallen Timbers that August, and the 1795 Treaty of Greenville opened most of Ohio to settlement.

Culture & Character

The past is part of the village's everyday identity. A granite obelisk of about 100 feet, erected in the early 20th century, honors the soldiers who fell in 1791. Beside it, a museum and reconstructed stockade and blockhouses interpret the battle and the fort. Each year the anniversary falls on November 4, and this year marks 235 years since the battle.

The community is close-knit and strongly Catholic, as in much of Mercer County and the neighboring Auglaize area, with parish life and school sports as the social center. The high school teams play as the Indians, and Friday nights and local festivals draw the town together.

Economy & Markets

Agriculture is the base: corn, soybeans, and a heavy concentration of livestock, poultry, and egg operations typical of this part of Ohio. Small manufacturing and farm-service businesses fill out the local economy. Many residents also commute to jobs in nearby towns.

People & Demographics

Fort Recovery has about 1,300 residents, many from families with deep local roots, and many with German heritage, as in much of the region. It is a small, stable, mostly rural community where history, faith, and farming overlap.
