This section contains various maps that I made throughout my time in graduate school. All of these maps were made with ArcGIS, unless otherwise stated. For all of these, I searched for and downloaded the shapefiles for these various geographies. For most of them, I had to seach for the census data I wanted to show, download it, and transfer it into ArcGIS via Excel.
The following four maps show Davidson County, TN, where Nashville is located. This was for an assignment that was analyzing modern racial segregation within the county. The pieces of the maps are census tracts. For all the maps in that paper, I showed the area with and without major highways to show the stark differences from one side of a street to the other. I made maps showing each racial group - as defined by the US Census Bureau.
I also made a map showing median household income itself, and another showing the percent variance from the median household income for each census tract. Greens are tracts above the median, and red, yellow, and orange represent tracts below the median.
This is a simple map showing population by county within North Carolina. This is a more complete map, with a title, legend, north arrow, and scale.
This map is the Chapel Hill area. It uses known data, and then shows the same map but with projected future data. Major thoroughfares were highlighted in red.
This is a map I threw together on QGIS a couple days ago. It shows the bus routes within Asheville, with each line getting its own color, and labelled route numbers. My competence is primarily in ArcGIS.
These two maps were created with TransCAD modeling software. These maps show projected data of the French Broad River (FBR) MPO area. The map on the left shows traffic intensity if the FBRMPO makes no changes in their highways and transit systems in 2050. The map on the right shows traffic intensity if the FBRMPO made transit in the area free and decreased headways for major bus routes.
