Week 3 - GIS and Cartography Lab Assignment
For this lab, we were assigned to make three different maps of Mexico to understand how to use labeling, symbology, and understand the difference between raster and vector data files. I chose this map to show because of the details and showing the number of roads, rivers, railroads, and major cities in Central Mexico. For the second map, we used a shapefile of the Mexican states and with that I chose a variety of colors from a color ramp to distinguish the lowest population from the largest. For the third and final map, we used a digital elevation map (DEM) to show the different elevations in Mexico. I am still trying to figure out ArcGIS but, after this weeks lab I felt more confident to easily navigate through it and make better maps each week.
