Types of Maps

This is a screenshot of the google earth locations I created. Labeled on the map are images of my home in Molena, Ga and my happy place, the Thomaston Airport. I also created a path of the roads I take to visit the airport.
This is the map I drew of the annual rainfall in Georgia.
This is a dot density map that demonstrates the population of the United States in 2000. There are more people residing in the  places where the dots are more compact and numerous on the map.
This is a proportional symbol map that demonstrates the capitals of the world with populations greater than 750,000.  Capitals with larger circle have a larger population. The circles correspond with the circles on the symbol key at the bottom right hand of the map.

This is an Isarithmic map that is used to measure the temperatures that exists over a defined space. Different colors were used to represent the temperature classes. 





This Chloropleth map represents the methane emissions that are released by cattle in North Carolina by shading or coloring defined units. On this particular map, different colors were used to represent different amounts of emissions and the unites are the counties.
