Lab #1: Cartography

1. Map Types
  • Isarithmic - map type that uses point data to create zones separated with borders to signify a range of data.
  • Choropleth - map type that use color to highlight specific units with data ranges.
  • Dot Density - map type that uses dots to signify a set amount of data. The concentration of dots denoted high amounts of that data value.   
  • Proportional symbol -  map type that uses different sizes of symbols comparatively to each other so that large symbols denote more date value than smaller.
