Symbolizing Features and Rasters

In this chapter I created four different maps of Africa displaying four different forms of data; in each of the maps I changed the colors, shapes, and sizes of the different symbols representing cities, rivers, countries, and topography. The cities, rivers, and country data were all features on the map while the topography was displayed using raster data. Most of this chapter was spent changing the color schemes of the different data layers so that individual values can be visually seen on the map.
