Map Critique Lab

Good Map - This is an example of a good map. This map clearly shows the six Districts in Belize (Corozal, Orange Walk, Belize City, Cayo, Stann Creek, and Toledo). It also shows the surrounding villages and Islands (Known as Cayes).













Bad Map - This is an example of a bad map. I do not know exactly what this map represent but I do know that it looks confusing. The colors are too closely match, except for black and green. Also, I do not know which states these colors are representing.

Mental Mapping Exercise - GIS 3015/L


I chose the East Coast as my first choice because I am familiar with this coast. When I first came to this country, I settled in New York then twenty years later I moved to Florida. I recently visit the Mid-West, Colorado, and fell in love with the beautify mountains. The West Coast, California, is my second choice because it is familiar grounds. I vacation yearly to spend time with my aunt and family in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Also, I have close relatives living throughout Texas and that is my reason for making Texas my third choice.
