GEOLOGIC MAP


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.

BIVARIATE CHOROPLETH MAP


This is a Bivariate choropleth maps of Africa. It is showing the "Land Use Life Expectancy, and GNP Per Capita in Africa 1989." The continent is broken up by varying colors which are defined in the block legend. There is also a pie chart to further demonstrate the information presented in the bivariate choropleth map.

LORENZ CURVE


A map that I have not familiar with, a Lorenz Curve shows income distribution with it's curve. This Lorenz Curve featured showing Scotland's income fairness. The chart is a guide to helping get to that fairness to please the SNP.

INDEX VALUE PLOT


This index value plot is explaining the "Streamflow Conditions Plots." The red lines on graph are plots for the average streamflow. It is showing the every day average of the water resource region or the gaging stations over 30 years. You may notice there are gaps in the map which signify days where there was less than 2/3 reported data from the stations.

PLANIMETRIC MAPS


Planimetric maps are digitaL maps that show planimetric features using symbolism mixed with lines to show position in a horizontal manner. These maps are mostly used for transportation plans. The planimetric map here is an image of Sayville High school area. The entire area surrounding the actual is only in black and white. The only splash of color on this map is the school in purple.

PLSS MAP


This PLSS map is a part of Minnesota's statewide PLSS map. The area is a fraction of a Worthington quadrangle on a 1: 100,000 scale. It is an example of cadastral data. The smallest blocks on the map are representative of quarter quarter sections. The numbers in black are codes. Red words and numbers indicate Town and Range lines.

CHOROPLETH MAP


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.
