Nice geospatial plot in python

Would anyone know how the following plot was generated, and if there's any way to do it in python? I couldn't find anything like this in geoplot or geopandas. local US pop density as peaks

I would assume that this plot is produced using several steps in various software. I produced something close to this one myself.

My method was this:

  1. generate heatmap raster from data using suitable kernel method.
  2. by Using ArcScene (ArcGIS Pro 3D view) I created the 3D visualization mesh.
  3. Exporting the 3D view.

From this point you can either do some post processing in Photoshop, or you can export the mesh with texture as a 3D model and use 3D modelling and rendering sofware such as Blender or Rhino.

Alternative 1:

Alternatively you can use https://kepler.gl/ to load your data and visualize it. I am not sure that you can get the exact same results, but it should be good enough.

Alternative 2:

you can use QGIS and the tutorial here to generate an .STL file to visualize in 3D modelling software and render. However, printing borders and adding text might be a bit challenging.
