A geologic map can help a geologist see the Earth's rocks that lie on the surface.
This geologic map is of Texas during the year 1992. The three eras are broken down as the map's legend. Each rock has it's own color pattern during it's time era. For instance, during the Mesozoic era, the rock patterns are shades of green.

CHOROPLETH MAP

2009-04-19T16:30:00.000-07:00

Titled "Minority Group with Highest Percent of State Population" is the map that I picked as an example of a choropleth map. It uses color codes in the maps legend as to distinguish the different minority groups: Hispanic (green), Black (gray), Asian (yellow), Asian (HI) (blue), and two or more races nonHispanic (orange). It is amazing to see the growth of Hispanic minorities who have taken over the entire West coast.

Topographic maps use planimetric aspects like symbolism and lines. They are also digital and graphic with horizontal positions.
This image is a part of a processed topographic map with ratio 1:25000. This 1:25000 has been changed from an "environment software Microstation, topologically adjusted for GIS Arc/Info usage" which was then added to 1:100000 map scale's information.

SIMILARITY MATRIX

2009-04-18T17:01:00.000-07:00

A form map that I am very foreign to, a similarity matrix expresses the likeness of two point by using a matrix. The picture that I have added shows us "completely sequenced organisms." All of these organisms come from genome conservation.

Map url: www.mbio.ekol.lu.se/staff/dag/dag.html

STEM AND LEAF PLOT

2009-04-18T08:51:00.000-07:00

Very familiar to most of us, a steam and lead plot has stems that are represented by digits that are the greatest place value while the leaves are the next greatest
place value. The image here is showing us the infant mortality death rates in western Africa. Most of these values are between 100 and 175.

PROPAGANDA MAPS

2009-04-18T08:32:00.000-07:00

This map titled ‘Outline of (the) Post-War New World Map’ is trying to convince others that small powerful ententes should having ruling of the world. It was a proposal made during WWII after the Axis were defeated by Allied forces.

PROPORTIONAL CIRCLE MAPS

2009-04-18T08:20:00.000-07:00

ISOPLETH MAPS

2009-04-16T14:46:00.000-07:00

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."

CARTOGRAM MAPS

2009-04-16T13:52:00.000-07:00

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.

WIND ROSE

2009-04-15T15:43:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-15T15:32:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-15T15:23:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-15T15:13:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-15T15:02:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-15T14:32:00.000-07:00

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

2009-01-30T12:27:00.000-08:00

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.

Image link: http://www.versamap.com/webdoc08.htm

LIDAR

2009-01-30T12:10:00.000-08:00

The next map that I have is called a LIDAR map. LIDAR or Light Detection and Ranging, is a type of map that uses an optical remote sensing technology which measures the properties of scattered light. The LIDAR uses this scattered light in order to detect the range as well as other information about a distant target. The pic that I have chosen to display is showing a LIDAR at work with it's laser light.

BOX PLOT

2009-01-19T16:08:00.000-08:00

The first map that I have picked was the box plot. By definition, a box plot is " a graphic which display the center portions of the data and some information about the range of the data." The diagram for this map shows a five number summary plot. The relation of the numbers features can be easily compare. It is simple to read.
