If you want to create your own map tiles in advance and show them using JavaScript library - use TileMill [1] and Leaflet [2]. Both are excellent and very well documented. To create the whole map on the fly using JavaScript - try mapbox-gl.js [3]. You should be able to pass your location boundaries via mapboxgl.GeoJSONSource (and then you probably don't even need MapBox API key - haven't tried it, though) and style it like this: https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-styles/styles/bright-v4.json https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-styles/styles/bright-v4.jso... PS. If you decide to host your own tiles - remember that browsers limit the number of connections to each domain. Your map will load much faster if you serve tiles from several different domains, e.g. tiles1.example.com, tiles2.example.com, etc. [1] TileMill - https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/ https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/ [2] Leaflet - http://leafletjs.com/ http://leafletjs.com/ [3] MapboxGL - https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl/ https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl/
