We all know Stamen Maps and their amazing Watercolor Map powered by Open Street Map but it appears they just got better. Map Stack allows you to take your favorite Stamen maps and stack them, basically you can create mash-ups of all of their maps using up to 5 Layers.

The layout is pretty simple, the two layers are on the left and the final image is on the right. The up and down arrows allow the maps to be swapped, the X allows the maps to be removed, and the + allows more maps to be added.

The maps can be further adjusted with the little equalizer box on the right of each map which gives you tons of control including inverting the colors, blending the layers, tint options, and adjusting the opacity of the layers.
