Practice Map

Last Thursday we were given the opportunity to create our own map, as long as we demonstrated our ability to clip files, merge files, add a shapefile, and join a table. I live in Atlanta (in Cobb County), and this map represents the routes that are either the most relevant to my life or the routes that I travel the most. The red triangle represents the route from my house to my high school, from school to the Chattahoochee River National Park, and from the park back to my house. The yellow triangle represents my mom's journey from our house to my school (to drop me off), from school to her office, from her office to school, and finally back home. The green line represents the route from my house to my boyfriend's house. In almost all of those routes I have to cross from Cobb County to Fulton County or vice versa, which is why I created a layer that merged these two counties. This would have been a lot easier to visualize if I knew how to make a map legend :(
