Description
ggplot2 has geom_map for plotting geography. I can imagine a nice interface with geopandas, which has gpd.GeoDataFrame.plot() through matplotlib. Here's a demo from the docs:
ggplot(crimesm, aes(map_id = state)) +
geom_map(aes(fill = value), map = states_map) +
expand_limits(x = states_map$long, y = states_map$lat) +
facet_wrap( ~ variable)
