GIS 5007 - Computer Cartography: Module 5: Choropleth and Proportional Symbol Mapping

-

This weeks module topic covers choropleth and proportional symbol mapping. A choropleth map displays normalized data as shaded points, lines or areas.  Students were asked to create a choropleth map showing the overall population densities in European countries and then tie in the amount of wine consumption and overlay using proportional or graduated symbols. A few steps I used to create my map were:  I chose to use the yellow-red-brown (continuous) color scheme. I chose this scheme because it is friendly to the color visually impaired person for easy determination. With the freedom to choose the data classification of our choice, I chose the Natural Breaks method for population density, and graduated symbols for the amount of wine consumption. Selected a symbol of my choice for graduated symbols layer as a .SVG file.  Use an inset map to clarify congested map areas that are tough to determine.

In this week's lesson we covered topics about Land Partitioning Systems, Cartographic Designs, and Perceptual Organization principles. We learned about historical and current methods for land demarcation and systems used to divide land. Next, we learned about Perceptual Organization, and Cartographic Design using Gestalt's Principles: visual hierarchy, contrast, figure-ground, and visual balance.  The deliverable(s) of the action plan required by students is to create a map in ArcGIS Pro of Public Schools in Ward 7, Washington D.C. The map we create must display our expertise in Land Partitioning Systems, Perceptual Organization, and all four of Gestalt's Principles.  Steps for creating my map: I used the "clip" tool to create a new layer "Ward7_Schools" on the map for all schools only in Ward7. Before this step there was only a layer for schools found in the entire Washington D.C. area. Once my new layer "Ward7_Schools" was created I chose a...

ArcGIS Pro Overview

  ArcGIS Pro Overview This assignment is a basic, how to, exercise to gain familiarity with using ArcGIS Pro at the beginner level. The assignment starts off by learning navigation steps to gain access to data, creating your own file paths, and creating a new project in ArcGIS Pro. Explanations were given on how to understand basic navigation of the ArcGIS Pro interface such as, but not limited to, ribbon, tabs, pane, explore tools, map extent, and active view. The final map created for this assignment used sample data containing cities and world countries. The base I chose for this map is USGS Topo (USGS National Map).
