Homework 3

In this homework, I created three maps by using different Coordinate System.
World Map Layout	This map layout shows the earth by using the World Goode Homolosine Land system. The coordinate system parameter information is on the layout as well as the brief description.
US map – measure distance	This is a screenshot of the distance measurement between Olympia, WA and Augusta, ME. The distance is 2530.375 miles in the default coordinate system.
US map with a change in projection	This screenshot shows the US map and distance measure after a change in the geographic projection. The distance becomes 2547.811 under this system.
US Capital Cities	This map layout shows the capital cities for the lower 48 states of US. The legend size represent the population number of that city in 1990. The coordinate system information and scale bar is also added to this layout.
New Mexico	This map layout shows the projected map of New Mexico with the central meridian -106. It also include scale bar, north arrow and coordinate system information.
Final Layout
This layout combines the three maps together, I deleted texts to make it more clear.
