Creating Interactive Maps

This section provides technical information for the maps present in the project and descriptions of the creation process for each map. The maps were both created using Neatline, a plugin for Omeka, because it integrates with the Omeka platform and content, allows basic visualization of spatial data, and is suitable for both types of maps included in this project. Although Neatline is not specifically designed for choropleth maps that represent statistical data in discrete patterns, it has spatial markup features that can be manipulated to accomplish a similar effect. It also features an integrated timeline plugin to facilitate spatial and temporal mapping within the same frame.
