Module 10: Isarithmic Maps


I wish I could have had this new level of comfort with the pen tool, anchor points, and handles when I was working the previous module! Nonetheless, it was encouraging to feel a little bit better about it during this exercise.

One of my favorite features on this map has to be contour values that are incorporated into the lines. I used a small white background behind each one to make sure that these numbers did not get lost in other map traffic. It was just a matter of ordering the layers properly, and we were good to go.

I tried to give a meaningful legend a stab, so we will see. I could have pulled off shading or coloring in each precipitation zone relatively easily, but I am satisfied with black and white.
