Human Geo Map 1 of New York and New Jersey
Key for the first atlas.gov map
For this first map, I have chosen a very interesting landscape to delve into and learn more about. I found out a lot of interesting things that I didnt know before. From this map you can see that this area's average annual perception which is based on the rainfall in 2005-2009. You can also find out about past earthquakes that have happened in the area for over the past four hundred to four hundred fifty years. Along with all that, you can find out the area's population density, where its airports are, how many cities are in the area, and acres of harvested cropland as a percent of land in farm acreage in 2007. I learnd a lot by doing this map and it is a very informative map.
This second map from google earth was a great accompaniment to the first atlas.gov map. A lot of things stuck out at me by looking at these two maps. One of them was the fact that the area was so busy and highly populated. The two maps together also made me realize how much the shorelines must effect the rainfall. As far as similarities and differences go I thought that both maps really show how many cities and towns there are in that area but the difference I see are the coloring of the google earth map is far more boxy and I think that is because the porgram / image makers decided to make their maps like that. All in all these two assignments helped me learn more about this area and about certain computer programs I might have to use in the future.
