River Map

This is a picture of a section of the Ocmulgee River in Macon. We tested the amount of clams in different parts of the river. We also measured river depth from a starting point at the top of the hill.  Each pin color means something:
Maroon: 0 clams found
Yellow: 1-4 clams found
Green: 5-9 clams found
Orange: clams found, but most or all were dead
Red: elevations of the river from the top of the hill above the river all the way across to the other bank.
The white line is the path of the measurements.  The opaque polygon shows where there is now a high growth of bamboo on the sandbar.

My Favorite Place

My favorite place is in Baton Rouge, LA when I would take time each day to run the lakes on the campus of LSU. The yellow pushpin is located right in the middle of the bridge on Dalrymple Drive.  This section of my path was always my favorite because there were always other people fishing, running, or just being together. The red line represents my running path. The polygon is City Park Lake that passes under I10 to become University Lake.

Favorite Animal - Dalmatian

The dalmatian is one of the most recognizable dogs.  Its distinctive black spots on a white background have gained it much popularity.  These dogs are often associated with firetrucks because of their use in the early 20th century. Their job was to run in front of the primitive fire engines and warn people to get out of the way.

And of course who could forget Disney's 101 Dalmatians!

Proportional Symbol Map

A propotional symbol map uses varying sizes of a shape to show differing data. In the map above, smaller circles represent less forestry production. On the other hand, larger circles show higher forestry output.  Based on the map, Germany seems to have a rather large forestry production industry, whereas countries like Greece and Croatia cannot match the scale of Germany and France.

Dot Density Map

A dot density map is used to show specific data for a given area. Each dot represents a certain feature.  For example, this map uses one dot to represent 200 poor persons living in nonmetro areas around the United States.  The term "poor persons" and how far it extends is not specified, however.

Choropleth Map

A choropleth map shows different kinds of data based on different geographical areas using a colored system. The map above shows a gauge of world happiness.  The darker shaded areas mean the people that were polled ranked their "average happiness" high on the scale.  It can also be deduced that nations that are considered more developed also contained happier citizens. 

Isarithmic Map of Ohio

This is an isarithmic map of average high temperatures in the state of Ohio between 1971 and 2000.  These types of maps are used to show differing areas and collection points based on data collected through use of a colored system.  For example, the southern part of Ohio experienced, on average, higher temperatures during the 29 years than did the nothern part of the state.
