Jim Crow Map #6

This map used an interesting splash screen, it gave an over view of what Jim Crow Laws and a little background on them before you toggled through the different maps.

Travel Time in the 1930's

Republican Election Map 1996-2012

US Mexican War

http://www.pbs.org/kera/usmexicanwar/timeline_flash.html I like how the morphs in this map are really simple and pause at each important year in the war. I also like how you have the ability to pick the year you want or you can play the map through. the morphs show the disputed land and the land occupied by each country.

Loss of Native American Land

http://invasionofamerica.ehistory.org/

The map shows the coming of Europeans to America and there affect on the native population. Overtime you can see the amount of land the natives have continues the shrink until they are pushed onto tiny reservations. I like how it gives you the option to either let the map play itself through time or you can pick a time period you want to look at.

Green Map of Baltimore

http://www.opengreenmap.org/greenmap/baltimore-regional-green-map

This map shows different areas of Baltimore that area sustainable, or considered "green". It gives you the option to turn on and off different aspects of the map such as sustainable living, nature, and culture and society. Each of these categories can also be expanded to include more information and goes more into depth. You have the option to turn and off the layers you want. If you have all of them on it makes the map extremely cluttered. On the map each point of interest can be toggled over and you are given information on that point and what can be found there whether it be an activity, store, farm, etc.
