Lab 8 - Dot Density Map...

Here is my Dot Density map for Lab 8.



I chose to map the dataset of the houses in West Virginia which were built in or before 1939. I arranged the dots so that they followed population patterns in each county.

Dot Density Maps...

Here's two examples of dot density maps that I've pulled off the web. The first one is a map of the acreage of croplands harvested in the U.S. in 1949.



The second one is kinda cool. Its a map of Facebook usage for the month of April this past year.

Proportional Symbol Map...

Single? Maybe you should check this out...



I think the legend they used on this map is kind of cool. Anyway, the Strange Maps blog comes through for me again...I love that site.

Lab 7...Moo Moo

Here is my Lab 7, proportional symbol map.



Mmmmm...beefy.

Choropleth map...

I forgot that we were supposed to post up an example of a choropleth map to our blogs, so here it is...



No, I'm not Mormon (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I thought this was a good example of how a Choropleth map can really convey the geographic pattern of a topic being studied. It's easy to tell by looking at the map, that most of the Latter-Day Saints reside in the region around Utah (no suprises there). The map is one of a series of maps showing where different religions are largely located around the country. I think they are all solid, good quality choropleth maps. Heres the link...
