Lab 6: Dots


Lab 6 calls for lots and lots of dots (1,631 in my case). The procedure for this map was time consuming but pretty straightforward. Since I was mapping houses, I tried to concentrate the dots around population centers. Because the houses being mapped here were all built before 1940, population statistics for pre-1940s West Virginia would have provided for added accuracy, but I felt that given the time alloted for this lab and the lab's more tutorial purpose, using current city locations would suffice. Lastly, I didn't encounter the technical troubles with Illustrator that plagued my last lab.
