Final Map - GGS 310

Week 10 Blog Post - Bivariate

A cool bivariate map which uses a unique way of proportional symbol. I wish the legend for the proportional symbol was a little more specific, especially in putting unites. I also wish they had stated the importance of being near the Mississippi River, but other than that is a cool looking map.

Week 9 Blog Post - Dot Density

While this is a population dot density map, I had to chose it because of it's uniqueness. Usually it is just a single color for the dots, but this map also shows density along with ethnicity by the color of the dot. The best part about this map is that it genuinely works; it honestly depicts where certain ethnicities reside in London.

Week 7 Blog Post - Proportional symbol

This is a very cool map which was made on ArcGIS and implemented onto Google Earth. I wouldn't say it is the best crafted map as it is hard to determine the levels of some countries which are overshadowed by the larger ones.

Week 6 Blog Post - Color

I chose this map because of the obvious color extremes on the map. I want to state that it may not look well crafted, but I have to say that I think this is an excellent map. It has contour lines and I really think the color scheme is excellent. It is obviously missing a title and information, but it is a map of isostatic gravity which means it shows what the acceleration of gravity should be due to oxygen levels. It is a USGS map.
