Cartographic Skills Module 10

Here is the map I created for this week's lab. It includes data pertaining to the immigration from six continents to the United States in 2007.

This flow map has lines, with sizes indicative of the number of people who immigrated, pointing from the respective continents to the United States. I also added a few extra touches, included drop shadows, inner glow, and 3D effect to some of the features.

GIS 4043L: Data Search

For this lab, we were to find and download all of the data for up to three maps on our own. I was assigned Pasco County, FL. A good amount of the data was found on the FGDL website, and others came from LABINs and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

For the first map, I included the data for the Pasco County boundary, as well as the major roads, rivers, and cities found within the county.

For the second map, I included all of the environmental data. This included public lands, invasive species, and land cover.

The final map consisted of the DEM and the DOQQ. I also included a map of Pasco County, with a rectangle around the area featured in the Raster datasets to show where exactly in the county they were located.
