Kris, For any sort of mapping like this, you will probably want to use basemap matplotlib toolkit, except that I don't see "hammer" among the supported projections. With straight mpl, imshow does not support projections. You could use pcolor (very slow) or pcolormesh. In neither case will you get interpolation; you will be specifying colored quadrilaterals.
