Worth a lot of points i realy need
• locate two maps to compare. consider researching the internet to find map resources. find maps that fit in one of the following categories.
• two maps of a region from different time periods
• two maps of a region that show the same region using different projections
• two maps of a region that show different political boundaries
• two maps of a region that show different themes (ex: population map and migration map)
• two maps of a region that are designed by different cartographers or nationalities
2. for each map, create a map lab observation chart in which you record the map title, map scale, map elements, missing elements, map purpose, and any cultural perspectives or biases of the cartographer.
3. consider the following map lab analysis questions.
• what are the advantages and disadvantages of each map?
• how does studying the maps together increase your knowledge of the region versus using only one map?
• what conclusions can you make about the region based on your map study?
• if you were a cartographer commissioned to create a map of this region, what information would you include and what information do you feel is missing from the maps you have viewed and why?
