Bivariate Map

by bscherk

This map was a true test of the many skills that were taught in Geography 200.  For this map, techniques were used from the choropleth map for one variable and the proportional symbol map for the other variable.  I sorted the data for the choropleth portion using the Jenks method of natural breaks and the proportional symbols were guided with excel data and manually scaled in Illustrator. The resulting product is an effective way to display two variables on one map.
