Three Maps

This map is from maps.unomaha.edu and it portrays population density by counties in the continental 48 states. I find this map interesting because it shows more detail of our population on regional and somewhat on a local scale as well with majority of our population residing on the east coast.

This map from the USGS and I like this map because it shows where most earthquakes have occurred in southern California. One thing in particular that I find interesting is that most earthquakes appear to have happened along the coasts or in the mountain ranges around southern California.
This map from flutrackers.com and I like this map because it shows where cases of H1N1 are most severe, in particular southern California because the majority of California's population reside there. I also find it interesting that most deaths from H1N1 have happened within the Los Angles basin all the way to San diego.

  1. Nice maps. Remember that population totals and population density are two different things. Your map shows one and you comment about the other in your discussion. Also try to get your images to show up completely on the blog.
