Sept. 21st

Well test wasn't as bad as I thought. We covered Chpter 4 talking about Spatial Data Sources. Hard and digital sources from which maps are created. We also talked about the components that make up maps like data area, pane, frames, insets and mapscale. Feature maps, Choropleth maps, Dot Density maps and Isopleth maps were covered to tell us which map is used most and for what reason. Large scale (small area) and small scale (large area) were explanined in detail.
The three steps of data aquisition was discussed about identify, obtain and incorporating data. Data sets of eight nationwide data source were talked about. (DRG & DLG). Digital Elevation models was also covered.
