Lab 6 Choropleth Maps





I chose to do one on the Percentage of the Population who were veterans. I did equal intervals and quantiles. My grayscales look better in Illustrator and printed out really dark.

Russian military map

Note sure how this image will show up. It is a Russian map for invasion of Korea. The fonts are interesting for several reasons, first they are in Cyrillic, also they use different shades of blue for bays versus the actual ocean. Also different sizes and shades of lettering depict different things.

Finally for all the military buffs. The US has always used blue for friendly forces (Us and Allies) and red for enemy forces (USSR during the Cold War). As you will see the Soviet Union used red to represent themselves! The big red arrows are to show the path that the forces would take.
