I tried to make my Isarithmic Map colorful and informative. My coloring and line-drawing skills are not always the best, but hopefully the contour lines are visible.
This is an example of a Choropleth Map. In this particular map, the data shows the percentage of people 65 and older in the United States. Of course, Florida has one of the highest percentages.
For my Isarithmic Map, I chose one which shows the average temperatures in North America and The Caribbean. The table explains that the bands show temperature in ranges of five degrees Celsius. In addition, the map shows the highs for the afternoon and lows for the night in several major cities, and it shows possible weather conditions in certain regions.
This is a combination of a Choropleth and Proportional Symbol Map. The color-code system provides a representation of mean ACT scores, and the symbol-system shows the participation of college bound seniors in 2009.
This Dot Density Map supposedly represents every McDonald's in America, with each McD's having its own dot. I'm not sure if this is completely accurate, but it makes sense.
This is an additional example of a Dot Density Map. The map displays the population of Alabama with symbols of varying size and color.
