Switch away from Stamen basemaps 
Stamen basemaps are being deprecated, so switching the default source to OpenStreetMap Humanitarian web tiles following contextily. Changed load_tile_map's inline example to use OpenTopoMap, and tilemap gallery example to use USGS's USImageryTopo instead.

The USImageryTopo map looks like this:

Alternatively, I was also thinking that the CartoDB basemaps could be a good option (that is also global in coverage). E.g. CartoDB Positron which has a lighter colour and might be better to overlay other data on top:

cartodb_positron

Any preference, or other options to consider?

Sounds good to me.
