Escambia County Population - Quantile Classification

I chose the quantile classification because it was the only classification that broke up the data in the Northern part of the county.  It seems to have a better balance than the other views.  Also, the data had a positive skew which makes quantile a good option.

Map Critique - Bad Map

This sign is on State Route 28 in East Wenatchee as you enter a bridge construction zone. The map is actually meant for a recreation trail that is not readily visible from the highway. Recognizing this as a DOT sign and the fact you are driving on a state highway, one assumes the sign is meant for motorists. The title “YOU ARE HERE” is too large and should be text placed under the asterisk. A title like “Pedestrian Path Detour” should have been used. The map should also be rotated 90 for proper orientation.

Map Critique - Good Map

I like the layout of this map with the orthophoto outside the analysis area balancing the colors. The map has an effective locator map and good legend. I’m sure this map met its intended purpose by clearly showing the need for diligence in protecting children from sex offenders because they live amongst us.
