Lab Assignment, Week 6, Web Mapping

Creation, Sale, Importation, and Destination of the Big Horse Red Saddle

This map (screenshot)shows the locations that our museum object has been at: It was created in China(purple dot), sold to Hong(green dot), imported by California(red dot) and finally reaching Carleton College (blue dot). You can check the webpage here.

I think that web mapping is a great way to visualize geospatial data especially if the amount of data that we have is huge. For instance, regarding the exercise that we did in class on squirrel data, it would be hard to visualize how the distribution of the squirrels would be across space if we did not map the data. Furthermore, ArcGIS allowed us to choose certain attributes about the squirrels to show such as fur color.

I think that ArcGIS is an extremely helpful web mapping tool in that it allows us to visualize data effectively, and as a result, we can easily find out relationships between attributes.
