maps with text

the map i choose was a map of the united states

i choose it because it has various texts. the countries' text are bigger and are in magenta. It has a legend. the states are in all caps and the capital cities are in title case, and the map only points out the captials. The text for gulf of mexico shapes to the gulf of mexico. Water masses are also in blue. and are in a italic style text. Canada is spread out to cover the land mass of canada. It also has a scale.

Perspective Maps

The first map i found is a world map but its given in a perspective that you normally dont see. with asia on the left and america on the right.


Secondly, i thought this map was really wild because it is an antique polar map. it shows the perspective from the north and south pole, plus it has designs of sea adventures on the side.

map for class on 9/9

I've chosen a map of locations of nuclear power plants in the United States. I dont think its the best map because it fails to include Alaska and Hawaii (but the ones that did include AK and HI were even more inadiquite plus those two states dont have power plants) but I like this one because it does outline the states, include degrees of latitude and longitude, and it points out major cities. This is a very basic map. it could not tell you how long these plants have been in operation, how big the plants are, or details like that.
