Cartographic Creations - Arctic Sea Ice Decline

This was an extremely helpful exercise to learn some of the really cool and interesting things that can be done in ArcGIS Pro. I don't know if I will remember everything, but I learned a lot. 

Part 1 asked us to Map Arctic Sea Ice (Map 1). I added the five elements discussed
in class (Title, North Arrow, Legend, Scale, and credits) which will be seen in Maps 1, 2, and 3. Maps 4 and 5 do not have all five elements due to me following the tutorials directions to make sure my final product matched.

Part 2 asked us to refine symbology which is depicted in Map 2.

Part 3 asked us to label the map which is depicted in Map 3.

Part 4 asked us to arrange a map layout which is depicted in Map 4.

Lastly, part 5 had us make an inert map and finalize the presentation, which is depicted on Map 5.

This final product looks polished and ready for print. This tutorial explained the many different ways ArcGIS will allow us to portray maps and information, making it pleasing to the eye and informative.

Radios in 1930 and 1940

  The data sets I chose for this week’s blog were Population by Race (1920, 1930, 1940), Total Population, Race, and Total Families Reporting Radios. Choosing the data sets this week was challenging. I tried looking at farm value or farm equipment based off race or population but had difficulty getting a map that accurately depicted what I was trying to determine. After messing around with a bunch of different data set options I decided to use the family radio data set as a base and look at how that changed based off race.  Map 1: 1930 Radios / Population Map 2: 1930 Non-White/Population Map 3: Radios / Non-White Population It was extremely interesting to me to see that the majority of “non-white” Americans resided in the south but almost all the “non-white” families that owned radios were in the north. Meaning first off there were not many non-white families that owned radios but that the areas they were most populated still didn’t have many radios at all. That had me asking,...

Georeferencing

Image
 For this week’s blog I decided to georeferenced a map from downtown Columbia in 1898 which depicts buildings between Sumter, Marion, and Bull Street. After georeferencing the map I added polygons to depict the main buildings in four street blocks (Map 1). I created an attribute table to add the house number, street name, number of floors, and the type of building (Fig. 1). After completing the table I used the “Unique Values” in Symbology and used BuildingType as the field to color the polygons. This allowed me to change all the domicile buildings to dark green, churches to white, and unknown / commercial to purple. There were three unknown buildings that had names associated with them, however the map keys did not provide me with the specific type of building, so I chose to label them partially as 'unknown" as to not assign my own interpretation onto the buildings. In the attribute table notes I added the building’s name, so it’s recorded along with the building type. Map 1 ...
