Black and Whit Aerial

Black and White Aerial images have a way of capturing moments in time with a feeling of historical value. This would be considered a type of Critical Cartography because it can shape the perceptions of how the public feels about what is being viewed. Also, it is up to the cartographer to decide how the location is portrayed. This image is of Wrigley Field, and may be trying to capture fans with a sense of nostalgia.

Infrared Aerial Photo

IR aerial photos enable people to see large portions of the earth and detect environmental changes. This IR photo is important because it is of the Sonoma wine country; any changes in the environment would change the quality of the wine produced in the region. So, these photos are vital to the constant care for the Sonoma Wine industry.

Cartographic animation

Cartographic animations help users better visualize change over a period of time. This set of map frames shows growth through changing frames and added lines to highlight the growth. In motion this map would move through the frames offering a slide show of growth. This type of mapping is only possible because of technological advancement and applications to geography and cartography.

Election Cartogram

Cartograms take data and manipulate a visualization to better represent numerical data. This map represents electoral college votes and their proportions towards each other. Notice that the data represented is nearly split. This is indicative of the actual results of the election. This type of map makes it easier to see how the country was represented by the electoral college, rather than the size of the state.

Civil War Planimetric Map

This map of Fort Smith during the Civil War. This map is interesting because, as it is only a two dimensional map, actual thickness and height of walls was not apparent when looking at this map. This would have made it difficult to attack and/or defend effectively.

Thematic Map of Presidential Approval

This is a thematic map that represents President Bush's approval rating in 2006. Each color corresponds to a specified approval rating. This map can also be considered a planimetric map because it does not show 3-D information.
