Week 8: Dot Maps

The map above was created during the week 8 lab. I found it interesting working in excel and calculating my dot values. Each dot represented 4 housing units per square mile. I ended up using around 2200 dots in the map. Once I got the hang of creating the dots, it did not take long to do the map. I made the dots red so they would not get confused with the black borders of the counties. I thought the map looked interesting when just the dot layer were visible, but I left the other layers up to show why some areas of density existed.
