Lab 10 Bivariate Maps

Plotting the dots for North Carolina is hard when there are a 100 counties and you have no idea about where any of them are. 

Week 10 Blog Post: Bi variate Maps

This was a really interesting bi variate map not just for the topic it is covering, but the way it used lightness and darkness to convey the accuracy of the test.   It looks quite different from a regular 3x3 choropleth because of the many classes it has, however, the lightness makes it easy to recognize some of the most polar colors.  However, it is a bit difficult to differentiate between the middle values.

George Mason Shuttle Service Map

This is my attempt at the shuttle map for GIS day.  I know I still need to add a scale, but that shouldn't take too long. But if anyone has any suggestion's that would be great!

Lab 9: West Virginia

Week 9 Blog Post

This was a screen shot from http://demographics.coopercenter.org/DotMap/ of the DC metro area showing the racial make up of the area. While it isn't exactly a static map, since a user can look around the entire US, I found this map really cool to look at.  You can see the vast white space created by the Airport, Manassas Battlefield, and the lower density of the Burke area of Fairfax.  Northern Virginia is pretty diverse while Eastern DC into Maryland have larger proportions of African Americans.  Just a cool map overall!
