ISOLINES!

This is an isoline map I've created that show levels of the dangerous SMERG concentrations in Virginia.

Isoline Map example

This map shows an isoline map in a different style than what Im used to seeing. This map shows magnetic declination across the globe.

Project proposal

Final Project Proposal

-map subject - Sunken ships and their relative value

-reason why this is your pick - Because i've never seen a map like this and it would be interesting to try and create. 

-map audience - 18th century pirates.

-type of map you're envisioning Tourist style map depicting great caches of treasure lost at sea

-scope of map (world? Virginia? Dorm room?) Caribbean islands.

-data specs (note where the data is from, the year, the size/complexity of the dataset, and the apparent accuracy)

-basemap needed for map - Caribbean islands

-expected production steps (be realistic and calendar focused) Gather data, accuire maps, import data, depict proper symbolization.

-challenges you perceive

Lost treasures of the world

Create a map with identifying locations of famous shipwrecks and treasure hidden throughout the world

I would like to create a map that could be used as an educational resource for those interested in the history of lost treasures of the world

I plan on gathering a multitude of famous and historic maps in order to compile them into an overview of famous lost treasures of the world to highlight areas of interest.
Initially I planned on presenting this data on a global scale but through more research I hope to find areas I can focus on specifically such as the Caribbean and the surrounding areas of the English trade routes.

I would like to compare the relative predicted value of these shipwrecks and their locations to create a proportional symbol map that highlights these areas.

The base map used will be determined by what area I decide to focus on, be it the Caribbean, Bermuda triangle, or British islands.
