There are several songs about the rainy days in Georgia. As nearly a Georgia native I can tell you that there are spots in Georgia you'd rather not be some times of the year because it seems like it's always rainy. Our study of Isopleth maps more commonly known as contour maps clearly shows parts of Georgia get as much as 70 inches of average annual rainfall.
In this exercise we were given raw data to manually interpolate to develop a precipitation contour map. I've included a copy of my workmap to show the progression.
Worksheet- Raw Data Analysis
PROCESS SUMMARY:
1) Opened Illustrator with Georgia.ai. Printed copy for manual markup and coloring scheme for contour groups.
2) Transposed resulting contours onto map with Pen tool.
3) Created outline boxes, removed raw data points & values. Increased transparency of base state to 45%.
4) Created layers as necessary. Created labels for each contour line.
5) Added Title Box, North Arrow, paragraph with date, source & author of map.
