Graysale Choropleth Maps

I really liked this lab. While working on it i realized that you can not see Washington, D.C., and in my maps it is important because in both it is the only "state" in that range, so I enlarged it. I didnt put a scale with the enlargement becuase it is also in the continental US map.

These are maps of the percent of each state's population that has completed a bachelor's degree or higher.

Natural Breaks

Lab #5 - TRI-STATE AREA



This lab was alright, I got a bit frustrated with the fill for the counties, but whatever. I made both maps because like many other people I was confused as to if we should have one or two.

I liked doing this lab the most so far. It did take a while though.
