I love maps
So, while working on my last post, I found a cool tool I didn’t mention - it’s the National Atlas. You can click on a state and show its cities, counties, population, or even bodies of water. In fact, you can even display levels of arsenic in ground water, if you’d like, and you can mix and match any of the display items you’d like. There are also specialty maps showing additional information in a map format. Above, I’ve shown the distribution of zebra mussels in the US as of 2003, and if you’re interested you can check the progression from 1989 through the present. Amazing.
Now, it’s just for the US, but for anyone who needs a good online reference to regions or who is trying to review demographics and distances it’s an awesome tool. If, like me, you just like maps it’s just a whole lot of fun.
