4
Site and situation Site = physical attributes of a place Situation = relative location of a place relative to other places and human activities
6
Maps are…. All maps are reductions, simplifications and abstractions of the real world.
7
Maps Virtual and real
10
Cartography is…. The art, science, and technology of making maps.
11
Maps (usually) have certain elements Title Legend Scale Border Scale Insets
14
Projections
18
Projections Mercator – conformal Azimuthal equidistant - (directions and distance from center point) Peters – equal area
19
Types of Maps This is different from projections!! These are styles of maps. 5 main types… - Choropleth - dot - graduated circle - cartograms - topographic - isoline
