MAPS!

I chose this proportional symbol map because I was born and raised in Ohio, and you grow up hearing a lot about coal when you live in the midwest. I think it's extremely interesting that my part of the country uses a dramatically different amount of coal than other parts.

I chose this choropleth map once again because of its focus on the great state of Ohio. It illustrates the number of single vehicle crash fatalities by county in 2009, and I think this is a very important comparison (weather and road conditions, various traffic signs and precautions taken...) that could lead to new developments in automobile safety.

The final map I will be posting is my own...

This map is my favorite, of course I've highlighted some of the major landmarks of our property, including my parking spot, the tree dedicated to my little brother, our sledding hill, and my Dad's "man cave".
