I recently got into camping and backpacking and because of that I scour the internet looking for good places to go. This assignment gave us the freedom to choose our own map data. Most of the places I have been looking to travel to have been state parks, so it only made sense that I map them! I found data of state park numbers per state online and went to work. The process of making a graduated symbol map is relatively easy and this type of map shows the data well I think. The biggest issue I ran into while making this map is deciding how big I wanted my biggest circle to be. After many attempts I managed to find a size that allowed my smallest circle to still be visible. displaying the data in the legend was also easy as all I did was take circles off the map and put them in the legend. I think the reason I really enjoyed making this map is because I mapped something that interests me.
