ISOPLETH MAPS

The following map that I have included is showing how isopleth maps are constructed using points 1 through 4.

Here is a featured breakdown of each point.

"1. The point-values are located
2. the critical isopleth of value 70 is interpolated, with the aid of crosses placed between pairs of values at a distance proportional to the value of each
3. other isopleths are similarly interpolated
4. a system of density shading is applied for clarity between the isopleths."

Map Url: www.fao.org/DOCREP/003/T0446E/T0446E06.htm

ISOPACH MAPS

The image protrayed in this isopleth map is displaying the areal thickness of Silurian evaporite basins. These basins can be found in the Great Lakes area

CARTOGRAM MAPS

These particular maps may differ in their size when showing geographic area. Area and distance cartograms are the two different types of cartogram maps. Spatially these maps are distorted so that they can show the alternate variable information.

This particular map is showing us population.

Map url: www.mscd.edu/.../1220cardiograms/index.htm

WIND ROSE

A wind rose is more of a graphic insturment commonly used by meteorologists to give a compact display of how direction and wind speed are usually allocated at a particular location. This image depicts wind speed measured by knots. The various colors of speed are expalined in the map legend.



Map url:http://www.climate.washington.edu/windrose/Seattle-WindRose.jpg

STAR PLOTS

Star plots show us multivariate observations with a subjective variables. Each observation is displayed by a star-shaped design with one ray for each variable. This image is the variable assignment for the featured starplot.


Map url: www.math.yorku.ca/SCS/icons/sugi16/starkey.gif

CONTOUR MAPS

Contour maps are created using contour lines. These maps take separate measurements, interject between them with the intent to create a grid that is uniformed. These measurements are then shown as lines of constant values. This map shows the high temperature predictions during June 27th. The legend shows the meaning for each color temp. of each state.



Map url: www.geomem.com/.../mapviewer/ContourMap.png

FLOW MAP

At some point in our lives, we have all used a type of flow map. Flow maps depict object movement from one place to another place. These maps are mostly done by hand and a good tool to use due to the fact that they merge edges with the reduction of of optical fill. This flow map is showing how quickly satellites would spread during the year 2006 across the US.


Map url: www.mpassociates.gr/.../golden/FlowMap.gif

ISOLINE MAPS

There are several examples of Isolines maps, maps that have joint lines which all have same value points. These lines are also nonstop. Different examples of an isoline map would be a contour map and thematic map. This isoline map is of annual precipitation.




Map url: menris.icimod.net/.../Figure%208_3c.jpg

MENTAL MAP

Mental maps shows us inside the human mind, tracking the places that they have been visually. Each person has their own and no two maps are the same. This mental map is a little difficult to see, but it is of a center. It was drawn from a person's memory of what the area looks like.



Map url: www.fedstats.gov/.../graphics/mental.jpg

DLG MAP

The image you are seeing is that of a DLG map. DLG stands for digital line graph. The image I have depicts the properties of the United States broken up into territories. For example, Florida has been seperated as an individual state while Georgia has been clumped into the Southeastern states.

I love this type of map because it easy to read and it has my intials.
