Lab 3 Map

Classification Maps

Before :


After :



This map uses 2000 census data to look at the number of households owned by American Indians or Alaska Natives and uses four different classification methods (natural breaks, equal interval, quantiles, and optimal) to look at the data. In the revised map, all of the numbers were changed from ratios to percentages and a title and subtitle were added to each legend to tell the audience what the numbers meant and what classification method was used. Boundary lines around the state were deleted and a neatline was placed around the whole page. The map title was moved to the top of the page and placed all on one line and a map subtitle was added to give a little more explanation. A boundary line was placed around both title and subtitle to make them stand out a bit more. Information about the map’s creation was added to the projection and data source information.
