Week 7 assignment: Map of Yellow Stone National Park




This week, we can choose our own map from the Internet. At first, I thought that I can choose a place which I was familiar with. So I decided to look at the area of Massachusetts. However, as a place where I used to live and a place near the sea, Boston area seems has no fantastic landscape but ocean. Then I decided to change to a place where there are mountains and rivers. As far as I went to search at the northwest of the States, I found that Yellow Stone National Park is a great place with interesting landscape. Naturally, there are mountains and rivers, which mean that it should project a really good 3D map. There is a basin at the west, a few mountains at the north, and a shallow valley all crossing the map from the west to the east. The special landscape is presented well by the color of the map, as the color changes frequently. The changes show that there is almost no plain area. I really want to go there for adventure and exploring the nature.
