This is a choropleth map. I picked it cause it was pretty.

Here is an example of a map Eratosthenes would have constructed sometime in the 200's BC. I picked this map because the labels had to be carefully placed to represent proper location.

oh, we were suppose to post a map with interesting fonts instead of the one I posted on October 1st. Anyway, I picked this map because only pirate maps could fit so many different labels on one map, plus their use of small fonts is always intriguing. And, you don't see scales like this everyday.

I could do this lab forever.

Here is a map of the US but instead of putting in state names, coutries with comparable GDP's are used instead. Amazing.
