Lab 10

Here is my map of population and housing units per county in North Carolina.

Here is my lab 9. I feel that my printed maps ccame out pretty well compared to the web map. The printer doesn't make the colors look as vibrant, but the printed maps still turned out well. The one thing i like about the web better is that you can enlarge the image more than you can when you print a copy of the map.

Lab 8

Here is my Dot Density Map of the Irish Population in West Virginia.

A "Type" Map

I found this map at http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/map_sites/hist_sites.html

I thought it was interesting because it's an old map. It's the world as of 1598.

Weekly Posting

Here is an example of a type of map projection called "armidillo." It is one among may that i found at this website: http://www.mac-maps.com/dwi_geop.htm

I thought it was interesting because it isn't a projection I had come across before.

My Links

USGS is a great site for a multitude of things. You can find maps for just about anything on Earth as well other planets. You can also search their library database for research projects. There is also links for currents jobs among other links that will you will find useful.

AAG is another great site because it is the official Association of American Geographers website. Here you can find plenty of material to read on anything Geography. There are journals, books, and news articles. You can also search for jobs/careers on this site to.

Earth Week is my personal favorite out of these three websites. I like it because it has plenty on articles that deal with events occuring around the world. It is more involved with climate and environmental patterns. It is a website that is a little more fun, so you want to clink links and see what is happening.
