Map Creation
You are free to choose the topics and data you explore in maps. Choose any two (2) measures from the maps
service of your choice.
Organize your maps as follows:
1.analyzing 4 census variables at the national scale with variables set at the State level
2.analyzing 4 census variables of any state of your choice with variables set at the County Level
3.analyzing 4 census variables of any city of your choice with variables set at the Census Tract Level
4.analyzing 4 census variables at any smaller part of the city at the Block Group Level
Your mapping should reflect your cartographic thinking about:
scale (how zoomed in or out is your map? Is it at an appropriate scale?
color/shading: how are you illustrating the range of the variables you are mapping? I.e, what color scheme are
you using? How many color classes? What classification scheme? Why?
context: how do you use titles, and other visual queues to explain the map to the reader.
