Assignment 1: Clemmer Chapter 1
5 points-show only counties in specific state (generally Alabama or Ohio)
5 points-show only cities in same state

3. Assignment 1: Tutorial 1-1
The followingexhibits display an analysis of population byrace in the top tenmost populous U.S.states and territories. Exhibit1 is agraphic
representation of the ten most populous states and territories of the United States as of the year 2010. Not surprisingly, the states with some of the
largest cities in the countryare includedin this list of ten,and many of thesestates are located along the east and west coasts withaccess to trade and
transport corridors.It’s also worthy to note that the states of Ohio,Michigan,and Pennsylvaniawith theirhistoric ties to manufacturing are also part of
the ten most populous states.
Exhibit 2 is an analysis of populationby race,describing the populationby raceviaaratio in the ten most populousstates and territories to all
states and territories.Ofthe 303 million people in the U.S.,53% of ourcitizens are inhabitants ofthetenstates shown in Exhibit 1.Whites arerepresented
by the greatest number inboth theten most populousstates and territories as wellas in the populationforthe entire country,yet only account for 51%
of the population of the ten most populous states and territories. A staggering 65% and 69% of the population identifying as “Asian” and “Other”
respectively are also present in these ten states, leading to a hypothesis that those states with established communities composed of these races, easy
access to travel abroad,and adiversejobmarket might be reason to attract and retainthesecitizens.

5. Assignment 2
Clemmer Chapter 3 10 points
Basemaps Assignment 10 points
Map Projection Assignment 10 points
Assignment 2: Clemmer Chapter 3
Clemmer directions not clear, so one map is ok. Student may submit map in any UTM, State Plane,
or State Plane System projection. So if they submit ANY map of counties projected, give them full
credit (10 points).
Note: Book instructions do NOT require a title or scale bar.

6. Assignment 2: Basemaps Assignment
1. The TIGER base map type is represented by the road data layer.
2. The planimetric base map type is represented by the curb data layer.
3. The cadastral base map type is represented by the property data layer.
4. The road data layer has the lowest spatial accuracy.
5. The curb data layer originated from aerial photographs.
6. The property data layer originated from the Auditor’s tax maps.
1 point-title is TIGER, Cadastral, and Planimetric Base Map Example in Arial font, size 24
2 points-map is zoomed in to about here
2 points-shows the 3 layers
1 point-streets are labeled
1 point-legend (ok if word legend is left in)
3 points-6 questions at ½ point each

7. Assignment 2: Map Projections Assignment
Map 1: Azimuthal Orthographic
The azimuthal orthographic project resembles both a globe and the
Earth as seen from space. It also fulfills the requirement that the
map projection “looks good” for illustrative purposes, representing
a view of the Earth that many users would be familiar with.
1 point-correct projection
½ point-ellipses
½ point-reason why chosen (give full credit if anywhere
close to right answer)
Map 2: Plate Carree
The Plate Carree projection is a
cylindrical equidistant projection, making
it useful for measuring distances between
various places in the world. Meridians and
parallels are equally spaced straight
parallels that are perpendicular to each
other, forming a grid of equal rectangles
keeping the scale of the map constant.
1 point-correct projection (or
Azimuthal Equidistant)
½ point-label Cleveland
½ point-reason why chosen (full
credit if anywhere close to right)

8. Map 3: Mercator
The Mercator projection was the version most
commonly used in classrooms and television
newscasts through much of the 20th Century. The
projection’s distortion of shape has two advantages
that may have been beneficial to the international
political climate common in the U.S. during the
time it was in use. First, it makes third-world
countries appear larger than in reality. It does work
well for navigation however, as straight rhumb lines
represent constant directions on the Earth’s
surface—perfect for wayfinding and marine charts.
1 point-correct projection
½ point-ellipses
½ point-reason why chosen (give full credit
if anywhere close to right answer)
Map 4: Cylindrical Equal Area
When calculating population density, we divide the number of organisms in the population by the area they
occupy. Therefore, it is important to have an accurate measure of area and the map projection best suited for this
task is the cylindrical equal area. This projection does display some distortion (particularly in the poles), but area is
preserved.
1 point-correct projection
½ point-ellipses
½ point-reason why chosen (give full credit if anywhere close to right answer)

9. Map 5: Robinson
Although the Robinson projection displays relatively low distortion within about 45° of the center and along the
equator, the projection was created in an effort to compromise on the problem of showing the whole globe as a
flat image. This projection displays a slightly more realistic view of the Earth than the Mercator, was originally
created for Rand McNally, and is still commonly used for thematic maps where the compromise in area and shape
are less of an issue.
1 point-correct projection
½ point-ellipses
½ point-reason why chosen (give full credit if anywhere close to right answer)
