Question

from shapely.geometry import LineString, Point
impor         


        

Answer 1

Contextily's default crs is epsg:3857. However, your data-frame is in different CRS. Use the following,refer the manual here:

ctx.add_basemap(ax, crs='epsg:4326', source=ctx.providers.Stamen.TonerLite)

Please, refer to this link for using different sources such as Stamen.Toner, Stamen.Terrain etc. (Stamen.Terrain is used as default).

Also, you can cast your data frame to EPSG:3857 by using df.to_crs(). In this case, you should skip crs argument inside ctx.add_basemap() function.
