Week 5 Map 2

Well this map was a little easier than the first as I already had all of the information. The only task I really had was trying to display all of the map elements appropriately. In this map I emphasized the land cover and hydrography-polygon.

Week 5 Map 1

Wow! This was truly an eventful lab. I had so much difficulty trying to locate the layers that I gave up. Well that is until Amber gave me some really good advice. I learned a lot this lab, but most importantly I learned to ask questions! Although my lab is late I am still going to complete the assignment as it will be an advantage for my future labs and certification.

In this map I focused on the all the required data, but mainly Invasive plants and Public Land. I messed around with the layers for quite some time, but I didn't feel that the map depicted all the layers adequately without removing and adjusting some of the layers.

Map of Haiti

I located this map at http://www2.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/MNIN-7ZNMTT?OpenDocument. It provides a good description of the populations affected by the disaster, they're locations and point of impact. It allows others to visually see the populations affected by city and location.

Map Projections of Florida

This is a map of projections for the state of Florida. This was a bit difficult as I was trying to figure out how to incorporate some of the things I've learned in the previous weeks in order to get my maps correct. I'm still kind of confused though on the the purpose of the three and what information I can use from these maps.

Week 3 Map 3

I really liked completing this assignment since it really didn't take much thought process. But, I like how this map shows Mexico's elevation very vividly.

Week 3 Map 2

This is a good image of Mexico's borders and major characteristics of the country. This map really gave me some difficulties because I wanted Mexico to be yellow, but then none of the other characteristics would be visible, i.e. rivers, railroads, etc. So I ended up going with a blank background and wala it worked. Hopefully I can find the reason behind so in the future I'm able to actually put a color on the map.

Week 3 Map 1

This map was a little difficult at the begining, but I think it's a good representation of Mexico's borders and of their population in general.
